The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday won all five seats in the state capital, including Lucknow Cantonment where its candidate Rita Bahuguna Joshi defeated Mulayam Singh Yadav's daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav by over 30,000 votes.

 

Joshi, who was Uttar Pradesh Congress chief, joined the BJP last year. She got 95,402 votes.

BJP's Brijesh Pathak won Lucknow Central by over 5,000 votes. He defeated Ravidas Mehrotra who was a minister in the Akhilesh Yadav government. Despite an alliance between the Congress and the SP, Congress's Maroof Khan also contested from here.

 

Lucknow North was won by Neeraj Bora who polled 1,09,315 votes against SP's young candidate Abhishek Mishra who got only 82,039 votes. Mishra was also a minister in the outgoing SP government and was a close aide of state Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
