2002 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election
The 2002 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was conducted in two phases on February 26 and March 3, 2002, to elect members of the 14th Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state. Held amid a backdrop of political tension and communal polarization, the election saw the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Chief Minister Rajnath Singh, facing opposition from a coalition of parties including the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). The election was notable for its high voter turnout and significant incidents of violence in certain regions. Ultimately, the BJP secured a majority, forming the government, while the SP emerged as the principal opposition party, marking a crucial moment in Uttar Pradesh's political landscape.
