The Congress was definitely the biggest loser in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, struggling to even win 50 seats. The fate of the Congress was reduced down to that of a regional party as the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party steamrolled to a single party majority. Despite the Modi wave, senior party leader Arun Jaitley lost to Congress's Amarinder Singh.
Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party was the other big loser with just one seat in all. Similar was the case with Farooq Abdullah's National Conference which could not open its account in its own state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Left and the Aam Aadmi Party also gave disappointed performances. While the Left could hardly get a couple of seats in West Bengal, the Aam Aadmi Party was completely washed out from Delhi and could manage to win only 4 seats in Punjab.
Following is the list of big losers this election:
1) Arvind Kejriwal (AAP) - Varanasi
2) Arun Jaitley (BJP) - Amritsar
3) Kapil Sibal (Congress) Chandni Chowk
4) Ajay Maken (Congress) - New Delhi
5) Farooq Abdullah (NC) - Srinagar
6) Ajit Singh (RLD) - Baghpat
7) Sachin Pilot (Congress) - Ajmer
8) Kumar Vishwas (AAP) - Amethi
9) Raj Babbar (Congress) - Ghaziabad
10) Ashutosh (AAP) - Chandni Chowk
11) Smriti Z Irani (BJP) - Amethi
12) Rita Bahuguna Joshi (Congress) - Lucknow
13) Raj Mohan Gandhi (AAP) - East Delhi
14) Sriprakash Jaiswal (Congress) - Kanpur
15) Jayant Chaudhary (RLD) - Mathura
16) Kadir Rana (BSP) - Muzaffarnagar
