The assembly segment-wise result of Lok Sabha elections shows that the BJP was number one in 328 seats, while the ruling SP led in just 42. Congress was ahead in 15, BSP 9 and Apna Dal 9. In 2012, SP had formed government by winning 224 assembly seats. BSP had won 80, BJP 47, Congress 28 and Apna Dal one.
The results also throw up some interesting facts. SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav won Mainpuri seat with a margin of 3.64 lakh votes. However, results of assembly segments reveal that of five assembly segments, he lost in Bhongoan by 1140 votes to BJP's Shatrughan Singh Chauhan. In Azamgarh, the second seat from where the SP chief contested, the victory margin was over 63,000 but results of five assembly segments in the Lok Sabha constituency show that he got more votes in Muslim-dominated constituencies of Mubarkpur and Azamgarh in comparison Sagri and Mehnagar which have high numbers of Yadavs.
Mulayam's daughter-in-law Dimple won from Kannuaj by a margin of over 19,000 votes defeating BJP's Subrat Pathak in a tight contest. Results of five assembly segments in Kannauj Lok Sabha seat, however, show that she lost in two assembly constituencies - Tirwa and Bidhuna - to Pathak.
