Which party will win how many seats
The election on 12 seats is going to be interesting, because only the MLAs will vote in it. In such a situation, the party that has more MLAs, the more council members will be able to win the party. Based on the number of MLAs, BJP will easily win 10 seats. The SP will also win one seat, but the BSP and Congress will not get a single seat. There will be 1 seat on which political manipulations can be seen. This is because all the parties will have surplus votes after winning their MLA. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which party the 12th MLA is elected. The term of the legislators elected to the Legislative Council is 6 years.
