In Rajasthan, the BSP had polled 6.40 per cent votes in the 124 seats it had contested last time and won only two. This time it won six seats (Nawalgarh, Udiapurwati, Bari, Saporta, Dausa, and Gangapur). Last time, it had forfeited deposits in 110 of the 124 seats it fought for. This time, it was second in 10 constituencies.
The party’s performance in tribal Chhattisgarh was well below what Mayawati would have expected. It won two seats (Akaltara and Pamgarh) in the state.
