UP Election Results 2017: 'Maybe UP Voted For A Bullet Train,' Akhilesh Yadav Says - Highlights

UP election results 2017 updates: BJP sets up a big win, SP-Congress takes a bashing, show leads.

Uttar Pradesh elections results 2017 is all set to declare BJP's landslide victory and PM Modi's super wave has ensured a majority government in the 403-seat state. BJP won 312 of the state's 403 seats; its allies have won 13 seats for a grand total of 325. The Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance has taken a bashing at the hands of the challenger. Mayawati's BSP, which was being considered the dark horse in the elections, has failed to surprise and is at a distant third position. The BJP in the crucial assembly elections, billed as a semi-final before the 2019 national elections, has surprised the pollsters and has delivered one of its best performance in UP in decades.

Today's results will also be seen as a referendum for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's notes ban last year. PM Modi was the face of the BJP's campaign with the party choosing not to project a chief ministerial candidate and seeking votes for PM Modi's policies and development agenda.

Ruling Samajwadi Party's gamble, under Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, to partner with the Congress, spearheaded by its vice president Rahul Gandhi fell flat today.  Both parties had to face a drubbing at the hands of PM Modi-led BJP.

We Built Expressways, Maybe The People Voted For A Bullet Train, Says Akhilesh Yadav After UP Elections Drubbing



What began like a defeat accepted with utmost humility, outgoing Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's speech quickly turned sour, laced with sarcasm. "Maybe the people didn't like the expressway we built, maybe they voted in hope of a bullet train in UP," Mr Yadav said at the customary post-election press conference.

"The next government will do better than us," he said, subtly adding, "maybe if the PM has said, debts of farmers all over the country will be forgiven".

If Notes Ban Was An Election Issue, People Stood By PM Modi Like A Wall, Says Amit Shah

Shrugging off the question, Mr Shah asked a couple of reporters to not get into details of a Hindu-Muslim vote divide and the combination of vote banks.

UP Is Victory Of PM Modi's Vision, Says Amit Shah



BJP President Amit Shah credits Uttar Pradesh's landslide victory to PM Modi's development programmes and the hard work of millions of party workers. He said the country's development goes through UP's growth.

Mr Shah gave a special mention to BJP's performance in Amethi and Rae Bareli, traditional strongholds of the Congress, where the party is set to win 6 of the 10 assembly seats.

On Mayawati's accusation of poll rigging by the BJP, Mr Shah said, "I can understand her state of mind," adding that he would not like to comment further.

Mr Shah said the BJP will tomorrow pick chief ministers of four states - Goa and Manipur apart from UP and Uttarakhand - when it welcomes PM Modi at the party headquarters and sit down for a parliamentary board meeting. (Congress is leading in Goa and Manipur at the moment.)

Akhilesh Yadav And Rahul Gandhi: Friends With Absolutely No Benefits


Akhilesh Yadav and Congress alliance no match for PM Modi

It turns out that Akhilesh Yadav's big decisions in his attempt to stretch his political legs far from his father have backfired spectacularly. The 44-year-old Chief Minister today earned the distinction of being vanquished in the BJP's biggest ever result in India's most important state. Of 403 seats, the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is placed to win more than 300. Akhilesh Yadav, on the other hand, had accrued 61, with his junior partner, the Congress, proving party pooper by adding just another eight (based on leads at 1.30 pm).
