- People have voted against the corrupt UPA government.
- In Punjab for the 1st time, an incumbent govt- BJP and Akali Dal has been voted back to power.

- The BJP has won 26 seats in Goa. Even Catholics have voted for BJP.

Highlights of what Akhilesh Yadav told NDTV:

Highlights from UP at this time;
- Samajwadi Party in clear lead at this time. Crowds start building up at party office in Lucknow.
- BSP being routed in UP
- Kalraj Mishra seen praying at BJP office in Lucknow.
- His prayers could be working. Huge gains for BJP; doing better in urban than rural areas; will it be second-largest party in UP?
- If this trend continues for BJP, Uma Bharti will get the credit for managing the campaign.
- BJP may be benefitting from Congress' heavy emphasis on minority reservation and quota politics
- Prayers held at Congress office in Delhi
