The BJP has won four states, including the politically significant Uttar Pradesh, in the mega elections seen as the semi-final before the 2024 national election. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also hit gold in Punjab, giving the eight-year-old outfit its second state after Delhi. In Uttarakhand, the BJP has crossed majority mark while its ahead in 19 of 40 seats in Goa.
With around 90 of the state's 117 seats, AAP is heading for a sweep in Punjab. "The people Punjab have done something spectacular. This has been a huge revolution. So many huge leaders have lost... Amarinder Singh has lost, Sukhbir Badal lost, Parkash Singh Badal lost, Charanjit Channi lost, Navjot Sidhu lost, Bikram Singh Majithia lost... this is nothing short of a massive, massive revolution," Arvind Kejriwal said.
In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has crossed the 270 mark in latest trends. The party is firmly ahead of Samajwadi Party and Yogi Adityanath set for a second consecutive term as Chief Minister. The majority mark in the 403-member legislative assembly is 202.
Election trends show the BJP has extended its lead in Uttarakhand with the Congress trailing in the hill state. The BJP is leading in 42 seats while the Congress is leading in 25 in Uttarakhand assembly elections, as per the trends at 1 pm.
The BJP has won 20 seats in Goa while the Congress has won nine seats and is leading on 2 seats. Maharashtrawadi Gomantak and AAP won 2 each, Goa Forward Party and Revolutionary Goans Party win 1 each and Independent 3
The BJP is likely to emerge as the largest party in Manipur but is short of the majority mark, show election trends. Meanwhile, BJP's Chief Minister N Biren Singh has won from the Heingang seat by around 18,000 votes.

- Some parties and people are on a constant endeavour to create doubt and fear in the minds and hearts of people.
- Instead of bringing the nation together in trying times, they chose to fragment the nation on the basis of caste, region, etc.
- For a strong and united India, this kind of mindset is a matter of grave concern. When the world was praising India's vaccine efforts, these people created doubts and fear in the minds of people.
- Even on a humane level on such a noble work of providing vaccines was reduced to divisive politics.
- Not just that, even during the ongoing war in Ukraine, when the whole nation should stand together, these people tried to fragment India into regions, caste, etc.
- They raised doubts on Operation Ganga which is being done successfully. These people provoked the families, provoked students in Ukraine, created fear in their minds in an already tense situation... and for what, just to fragment India for personal political gains.
- They do not understand what it is to stand united for India. This mindset is truly worrisome and something that all Indians must think about.

- I would like to thank all the party workers of the BJP in Punjab. The manner in which they took the BJP forward in Punjab is commendable. I can see the BJP growing in Punjab in the years to come.
- Our message, our programmes and schemes will be taken to the grassroots in Punjab.
- The BJP party worker will work to ensure that 'algavvaadi' in this border state is fought against, and if need be, they will defend Punjab with their lives.
- Many people had said that the fate of the 2019 general election was decided when the 2017 UP election result was declared.
- All I can say is that the same thought applies now too... the 2024 general election result can be glimpsed in the result of the 2022 UP election.
- The mothers, sisters, daughters who have voted, I would like to say a special thanks to them.
- Wherever our mothers, sisters and daughters have voted, BJP has got a bumper result.
- The trust and faith they have shown for us is truly humbling. We will work for their benefit and safety tirelessly.
- You are India's 'Stree Shakti', our 'Naari Shakti'. Thank you for blessing us.
- For people at the grassroots to benefit from the government's programmes and schemes, there must be a good governance delivery mechanism - a good system. This is extremely important. And that is what we in the BJP have ensured.
- Good and clean governance for all with a good delivery system. And I will not sit, I will not rest till I ensure that benefits are reaching the poorest person - to every poor person.
- I am here to serve. We believe in sewa. We are here to deliver 100% and will continue to do so.
- When ones intensions are pure and we have a belief of service, then we can serve well.

- Uttar Pradesh has given the country many Prime Ministers and have voted back PMs many times, but this is the first time that one can say that a sitting Chief Minister has been voted back to power again. Not just that, the vote share of the BJP has also gone up.
- In Goa, all the exit polls were proven wrong. The BJP has been voted to power for the third straight time - that too with a majority verdict.
- In Uttarakhand too it is the first time that an incumbent govt has been voted back to power and that too a majority.
- And the same in Manipur too.
- From the Himalayas (Uttarakhand) to the Sea (Goa), to the northern and biggest state of India (UP) to the far reaches of the northeast (Manipur), BJP has got the blessings of the people from all over India.
- Today is a festive day. I congratulate and thank all the people of all the states that went to vote.
- I am grateful to all the voters, especially our mothers, sisters and our youth. The manner in which you have given a verdict is in itself a message to all.
- First-time voters have voted in large numbers and have given a majority mandate to the BJP. I thank them all.
- This time we had said that Holi will start on March 10 itself. I thank and praise all those party workers in all the states who made this possible.
- It is you who have helped keep the BJP's vision alive at the grassroots across all states. I also thank and congratulate BJP president JP Nadda ji.
Rahul Gandhi, former Congress President, and sister and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, have ensured that they are a dream Opposition for the BJP.
- The manner in which we have retained all 4 states show that the schemes introduced by the BJP at the Centre and state level is something that the people approve of and are happy with.
- These programmes and schemes have not just been a success, but has also benefitted the people greatly and hence they have given us a tremendous majority.
- With this win, the people of UP have given their blessing to Narendra Modi ji... first in 2014, then in 2017, then again in 2019 and now for the fourth time now in 2022.
- This shows how much trust they have on Narendra Modi ji's leadership.
Union Minister Smriti Irani on Thursday roasted senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, dismissing any hope of the opposition's party's first family reviving its fortunes.

Ecstatic over its thumping victory in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) took a swipe at rivals who had written off party leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the initial years of his political career.
लोकतंत्र में जनता का मत सर्वोपरि है। हमारे कार्यकर्ताओं और नेताओं ने मेहनत की, संगठन बनाया, जनता के मुद्दों पर संघर्ष किया। लेकिन, हम अपनी मेहनत को वोट में तब्दील करने में कामयाब नहीं हुए।

- Today, his model of governance has been established at the national level.
- This is the victory of the 'Aam Aadmi' (common man)
- This result for our party is because of the leadership of Modi ji and Yogi ji. Yes, we have increased our vote share as numbers suggest. This is because of the trust people have on Yogi ji's leadership. He has delivered on promises and have made UP mafia-free.
- We will now move ahead with development and make UP a leading state in India, especially in manufacturing. From IT to electronics, we have big plans for UP. We have lot of work to do and we now have a mandate which gives us that support we need to continue with our good work and hard work.
- We stand for everyone - Hindus, Muslims, all... Our schemes are for everyone. We do not distinguish and differentiate on basis of Hindu-Muslim. We work for all and we take everyone along.

- The questions raised on an EVMs in Varanasi was meant for training purpose. The ADM's mistake was that he did not inform political parties about the movement of EVMs for training purposes as per standard operating procedure.
- When questions were raised by some parties, we showed them no. displayed on that EVM. It didn't match with EVMs that were sealed & kept in the strong room for counting. They were satisfied after this. No EVM on which votes are cast can be taken out from the strong room.
- The counting of votes is a transparent process. There is a standard operating procedure under which we conduct the counting. Authorised polling agents of the political parties are allowed to come inside the counting centre.
- There is no question of EVM tampering. EVMs are continuously used since 2004, in 2019 we have started using VVPAT at every polling booth. EVMs are sealed in the presence of political party agents.
- The public has immense trust on PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath.
- BJP will form government with majority in UP. We will win more seats than the last time.
- BJP will win Sarojini Nagar seat by 1 lakh votes.

In Punjab, exit polls have predicted a big victory for Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party -- which has established its presence in the state -- pushing the ruling Congress to the number 2 position in the 117-member assembly.
In Manipur, polling on the 60 seats took place in two phases - on February 28 and March 3.
This time, the BJP has gone solo and contested all seats alone. The Congress, on the other hand, has forged an alliance of six political parties and named it Manipur Progressive Secular Alliance.
