Decimation of 'neutral' parties

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in UP, which did not align with either pro- or anti-Modi groupings, could not get a single seat. The Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) in Telangana and Siromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab also faced a similar fate.

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Odisha and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in Andhra Pradesh, which stayed out of alliance blocs, received a double blow, as the two parties not only got reduced to political insignificance national level, but they lost power in assembly polls.
