Lucknow, Mar 15 (IANS): After losing seats and votes in the recent Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Congress and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) may now lose their offices in the Vidhan Bhavan complex here.

The BSP managed to win only one seat, while the Congress won two seats in the seven-phased elections.
