It was Uttar Pradesh in 2009 Lok Sabha election, which helped Congress cross 200 figure of MPs in the lower house and it is again Uttar Pradesh, which has helped BJP to get absolute majority on its own in the Lok Sabha in 2014 elections. If we have a close look on the election results of Uttar Pradesh, we can see how restless the people of the most populated state of India are. No one was expecting a full majority of Mayawati in 2007 Assembly elections, but she got that. In 2009 Lok Sabha election, Congress was bargaining with Samajwadi Party for 20 seats and had to fight alone because of the refusal of Mulayam Singh to give it so many seats. But, surprisingly Congress won 22 seats along with Ferozabad, it won later on. 2012 Assembly elections saw Samajwadi Party getting comfortable majority. All these results were unexpected and were not in consonance with the earlier results.
