This time the benefit of negative vote went to BSP.The reason being the voters did not any any contender other than Mayawati to Mohamad Mulayam.The upper caste were deadly against Mulayam who was Asari friendly and Atma Ram friendly BJP on the other hand was very confused to project anyone as cheif minister and all the top five banged their own drum in the election and lacked the uniform code of conduct. BSP being the Natural other option got elevated resulting Mayawati to make a history.
