Against all odds, BJP emerged victorious in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday as riding on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity the party won a historic 325 seats out of 403. Amit Shah would be a happy man as his strategies have helped BJP to dethrone Samajwadi Party and Akhilesh Yadav in the state. These elections were a massive blow for both BSP as well Congress. BSP could win only 19 seats and Mayawati even demanded re-polling. On the other hand, Congress managed to win just 7 seats in the state which was even less than Apna Dal’s 9 seats. BJP is yet to announce its CM candidate and the final decision could be taken today at the party meeting in Delhi.
7.30 pm: Addressing 1000s of BJP workers, who gathered in the National Capital  to honour PM Modi, for steering BJP to a historic victory with his personal charisma, the Prime Minister said, “I see the result of five elections in five states as the foundation of a New India.”
