In a surprising turn, BJP candidate Lallu Singh trails Samajwadi Party’s Awadesh Prasad in Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, by a slim margin of 4,791 votes, defying expectations of a BJP victory in the Ayodhya-Ram Mandir constituency. The INDIA bloc leads BJP in UP, with Congress-led coalition leading in 42 seats and NDA in 37. Despite stalwarts like PM Modi and Rajnath Singh leading in Varanasi and Lucknow, respectively, BJP faces challenges in UP, crucial for its 2019 tally hopes. Notably, Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and Congress's Rahul Gandhi maintain strong leads in their constituencies.
