Gorakhpur results are shocking. BJP never lost it even when they faced worse of times in UP. 29 yrs continuously it was represented by Mahanth of Gorakhnath temple. Looks like infighting cost the seat to BJP.
Upendra Shukla is a close associate of Shiv Pratap Shukla who is a bitter adversary of Yogi. Looks like temple and Hindu Yuva Vahini either stayed indifferent or worked against him. Unbelievable that Gorakhpur is going to have a non BJP MP 🤯
Apparently, Yogi wanted another priest of temple to contest but BJP central leadership didn't listen. Those saying impact of SP-BSP alliance, no, BJP never lost it during 90s also when SP BSP were together. Yogi had got ~52% votes in 2014! It's not alliance but infighting.
