In the storm of SP in Ambedkar Nagar Lok Sabha constituency, the influence of both the strongmen leaders of Gosaiganj assembly constituency was also ineffective. Even the SP MLAs who recently came close to BJP could not show any magic. Ultimately, BJP had to face defeat on this seat too. Whereas, both the camps were not getting tired of making big claims by showing their power.
In 2019, Mukut Bihari Verma, the then minister of BJP, contested from Ambedkar Nagar Lok Sabha constituency. At that time, BJP leader Indrapratap Tiwari was the MLA from Gosaiganj assembly constituency. SP’s Abhay Singh was the runner MLA and he was with Ritesh Pandey, who contested from the SP-BSP alliance. In that election, BJP lost all the assembly seats in Ambedkar Nagar, but saved its face from Gosaiganj assembly constituency. At that time, BJP got 1,12,155 votes from here and BSP got 1,01,121 votes. In this way, BJP defeated BSP by 11034 votes.

In 2022, SP’s Abhay Singh defeated BJP’s Aarti Tiwari and became MLA, but in the recent Rajya Sabha elections, he went to the BJP camp. Whereas, Indrapratap Tiwari was already in BJP. Abhay Singh was directly seen only in Amit Shah’s rally, but did not reach the stage. He got his wife, father and supporters inducted into BJP and also demonstrated his strength by organising several conferences.
In such a situation, due to both the leaders of this assembly seat with a strong image joining hands with BJP, speculations of better results are being made here, but they got tarnished. SP’s storm was so strong that all the equations of both the leaders were destroyed. BJP kept losing from here in every round. Ultimately, SP managed to win from here by 16,653 votes this time. All the claims of both the leaders were shattered.
