Three Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidates are leading in Rajasthan election results. They are Manoj Kumar from Sadulpur, Jaswant Singh Gurjar from Bari and Vajid from Masuda.
Notably, six BSP candidates had won in the 2018 elections as well, but all of them supported the Ashok Gehlot-led government and joined Congress later.
While Uttar Pradesh is considered to be a state where BSP is considered strongest, it could secure just one seat in the 2022 assembly elections with Umashankar Singh as its lone MLA from Rasada.
