Especially in the districts of Western Uttar Pradesh and Rohilkhand, this decline has reached 15 to 29 percent, which is much higher than the normal decline. Overall, the average decline in the entire state was 13.24 percent, but this figure is significantly higher in seats with Muslim influence.

Higher decline in Muslim-majority areas

Muslim voters have been playing an important role in influencing the election results for a long time in these seats.
