While addressing the meeting, BJP Uttar Pradesh unit chief Bhupendra Chaudhary Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress succeeded in spreading lies and propaganda against the party which caused the debacle in the state.

In the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the ruling party was expecting to win more than 63 seats, its performance in 2019, the poll results pushed the party into shock with just 33 seats.
