The BJP is likely to enjoy a comfortable victory in Uttar Pradesh even as it may suffer a major loss of seat share in the upcoming state assembly polls, according to the third pre-poll survey conducted by ABP-CVoter. As per the opinion poll, the BJP may finish bagging 212-224 seats in the 403-seat state assembly while the Samajwadi Party is expected to win around 151-163 seats.

The survey, who first two rounds predicted more seats for the BJP government in UP, clearly indicates that the losses for the BJP may comes as direct gains for Akhilesh Yadav's party.

The survey, whose October round predicted more seats for the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh, clearly indicates that the losses for the BJP may comes as direct gains for Akhilesh Yadav’s party.

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), under former CM Mayawati, is likely to get only 12 to 24 seats, the survey suggests. Meanwhile, the Congress is feared to suffer another poll debacle in the state where it has been trying to regain its lost ground and may end up winning around 2-10 seats.

The BJP-led alliance, which won 325 seats with a 41.4% vote share in 2017, is projected to bag 40.4% vote share, according to the December survey. The Samajwadi Party, BSP, and Congress, respectively, are projected to get 33.6%, 13.2%, and 7.3.% vote share.

The November survey had predicted anywhere between 213-221 seats for the BJP and 152-160 seats for the Samajwadi Party whereas the October survey had projected 241-249 seats for the BJP+ and 130-138 seats for the Samajwadi Party.

The data suggests that a loss for the BJP-led NDA is a clear gain for the Samajwadi Party which has joined hands with Om Prakash Rajbhar’s Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, a former ally of the BJP in the politically crucial state.

However, the BJP has downplayed the SP’s alliances with smaller parties, and has said that its alliance Apna Dal and Nishad Party will be much more impactful in the elections.

All major players including the Samajwadi Party, the BSP and the Congress have decided to go it alone in the upcoming state elections and are rather eyeing joining hands with smaller caste-based parties. However, experts are of the view that a splintered opposition will only help the ruling party, with the division of anti-BJP votes.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
