By-election result LIVE updates: In a huge blow to the ruling BJP, the Samajwadi Party on Wednesday wrested Phulpur Lok Sabha seat which was vacated by up deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya and took a winning lead in Gorakhpur, which was vacated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. With the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) backing its bitter rival Samajwadi Party, the result is a major embarrassment for the Bharatiya Janata Party, and Adityanath in particular. Election Commission officials said the Samajwadi Party’s Nagendra Singh Patel defested BJP’s Kashlendra Singh Patel in Phulpur by over 59,000 votes. Pravin Nishad of the Samajwadi Party was leading by over 26,000 votes in Gorakhpur, which Aditynath had won five consecutive times, over the BJP candidate Upendra Dutt Shukla.
