BJP sweeps UP Legislative Council polls but loses key Varanasi seat
India | April 12, 2022 13:58 ISTThe Bharatiya Janata Party swept the UP Legislative Council polls but had to settle with the loss of the important Varanasi seat. For the ruling BJP, which came back to power with a two-thirds majority in the recently concluded assembly elections, it will be an opportunity to make itself the single-largest party in the House, and thereby enjoy a majority in both Houses of Uttar Pradesh Legislature.
