June 4th 2024.
In a surprising turn of events, the Lakhimpur Kheri Lok Sabha seat has been won by Utkarsh Verma of the Samajwadi Party, with a margin of 34,329 votes against the BJP candidate Ajay Mishra Teni. The Election Commission figures have confirmed this result, with Verma securing a total of 5,57,365 votes while Teni received 5,23,036 votes.
Teni, who also serves as a junior minister in the Centre, gained national attention in 2021 when his son was involved in a controversial incident where he allegedly drove his SUV over protesting farmers, leading to the tragic death of four individuals. Despite facing backlash for this incident, Teni remained in his position as a minister and was once again chosen as the BJP candidate for the Lakhimpur Kheri seat.
It is worth noting that Teni had previously won the seat in both 2014 and 2019, making this loss a disappointment for the BJP and their supporters. However, Verma's victory is being celebrated by the Samajwadi Party and its followers.
This defeat serves as a reminder that even established leaders can face defeat and that the will of the people cannot be underestimated. As the Lakhimpur Kheri Lok Sabha seat changes hands, it will be interesting to see how Verma, as the newly elected representative, will work towards fulfilling the hopes and expectations of the people. The PTI report confirms this outcome and the official figures provided by the Election Commission.
