Up Election

Akhilesh Yadav thanked voters for a two-and-a-two-and-a-half-foldfold increase in seat tally and a one-and-a-half fold increase in vote share.

Yogi Adityanath stated that the people's mandate must be honoured.
 

Bulldozer has often been used to refer to Yogi Adityanath's stern move to raze properties belonging to criminals.

The incumbent Yogi Adityanath has broken the 39-year-old record in the state by getting the mandate after having served the full term.

Akhilesh Yadav was estimated as the key challenger to the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.

Akhilesh Yadav, the president of the Samajwadi Party, said election sign is a cycle. 

The Congress is the biggest loss-sufferer with a collective lead on less than 60 seats across the five states. 

Seven months before Uttar Pradesh went to polls – in August 2021 -  Asianet News-Jan Ki Baat Mood of Voters survey had predicted the return of Yogi Adityanath as the chief minister for a second term.

Yogi Adityanath is ahead with massive votes, followed by Samajwadi Party candidate Subhavati Upendra Dutt Shukla and Congress' Dr Chetna Pandey.

In this election battle between Yogi Adityanath versus the rest, Noida is the clear winner.

In a tweet, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya slammed the opposition, and said "the public was winning and hooliganism was losing." Along with this, he has sent out a slew of other tweets in which he said the BJP will win a historic triumph in Uttar Pradesh.

The Uttar Pradesh assembly election verdict has silenced all the critics who doubted whether Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be able to break a nearly four-decade-old jinx and get a second consecutive term in power. 

"Authorised polling agents of the political parties are allowed to come inside the counting centre. There is no question of EVM tampering," said CEC Sushil Chandra.

Yogi Adityanath is set to break a 39-year-old jinx in Uttar Pradesh and return to power for a second term as chief minister. 

Congress paid the price for infighting with the party when the voters handed over power to Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab. The BJP secured comfortable victories in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur. In Goa too, the BJP emerged as the single largest party with 20 seats in the 40-member assembly and is hoping to form the government at the earliest.
