“BJP won 86 seats with a margin of less than 2000 votes in the recent 2022 UP assembly elections”
What FACTLY found
As per the data released by the ECI, there are only 29 seats in Uttar Pradesh where the winning margin was less than 2000 votes. Of these 29 seats, the winning margin is less than 500 in 11 seats, between 500 – 1000 in four seats, and between 1000-2000 votes in 14 seats. Also, there is not even a single seat where the winning margin is below 200 votes
