The reason behind the low voter turnout was the lack of interest by the voters in the by-elections. Despite the pleasant weather, voters came out less. Overall, lack of publicity was also seen in the by-elections. The administration also did not take any initiative to increase the voting percentage. As a result, the voting percentage fell upside down. It will be known on December 8 that who will gain and lose due to reduced voting.
The path of BJP leaders who are trying to feed lotus in the by-election on Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat may become even more difficult after voting. Actually increased voting percentage always proves beneficial for BJP, but this time the voting percentage has decreased instead of increasing. This may shock the BJP. Bicycle puncture has always been happening in Bhogaon assembly seat, an important part of the Lok Sabha constituency, but here also this time the polling percentage has come down to 51.20. It can be heavy for the BJP to go ahead even like this.
