The results of the by-elections to two Assembly and one Lok Sabha seat will not change the complexion of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly or the Lok Sabha but they will definitely decide the fate of some leaders.
The stage is set for a direct contest between the BJP and Samajwadi Party-Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) alliance in the bypolls to one Lok Sabha and two assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.
