People’s eyes are fixed on the exit polls before the results on June 4. Let us know what were the results on these seats of Awadh in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and where the predictions proved wrong.
In the 2019 elections, SP-BSP and RLD were challenging BJP by forming an alliance in UP. In such a situation, the whole country’s eyes were on UP and it was being estimated that the alliance would give a tough fight to BJP in UP, but despite this, BJP won 62 seats in the state. While in the exit polls, many survey agencies had given 20 to 45 seats to the alliance, but when the results came, the alliance which was considered strong on paper was reduced to 15 seats. BSP had won 10 and SP had won five Lok Sabha seats. Know, what were the results on other seats of Awadh:
