A smiling Yogi Adityanath, flashing the ubiquitous victory sign after casting his vote this morning for the Lok Sabha by-elections in Uttar Pradesh, told NDTV that he was confident of "victory margins as big as in 2014". The UP Chief Minister was referring to the BJP's stunning win in the Lok Sabha elections where it snapped up 71 of 80 seats in the state. UP is voting today for Gorakhpur and Phulpur; both were vacated by Mr Adityanath and his deputy, Keshav Prasad Maurya after the BJP swept the assembly elections last year.
