UP Election Results highlights: The Lok Sabha election battle over the 80-member state seat has showcased its significance as a gateway to Delhi's political dominance. In what came as a surprising twist, the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) less-than-stellar performance has cast doubts on its ambition for a third consecutive term at the Centre. The INDIA bloc, an alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, emerged as a formidable opponent, challenging the anticipated victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath's NDA....Read More
In the run-up to the elections, most exit polls had predicted a comfortable win for Prime Minister Modi, with several forecasts even suggesting a two-thirds majority for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). However, the Congress party and its partners refuted these predictions, labeling the exit polls as "orchestrated" and dismissing them as mere "fantasy." They confidently claimed that the opposition's INDIA bloc would be the one to form the next government.
The electoral contest was primarily between the incumbent NDA and the challenging INDIA bloc. Strategically, the BJP fielded candidates in 75 of the seats, allocating the remaining five to its smaller allies. Meanwhile, the composition of the INDIA bloc reflected a strategic alliance aimed at consolidating opposition efforts against the BJP. Within this alliance, the Samajwadi Party contested 62 seats, the Congress took 17 seats, and the Trinamool Congress made a claim for one seat, indicating a highly competitive and diverse political battlefield.

UP Election Results LIVE Updates: How Akhilesh Yadav turned the table?
UP Election Results LIVE Updates:
• Akhilesh Yadav's stock rose dramatically on Tuesday with his Samajwadi Party cutting the ruling BJP down to size in Uttar Pradesh. As the trends came in, the SP was leading on 37 seats as against the BJP's 33 seats.
• The tally is a spoiler for the BJP which had claimed it will sweep the state from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an MP.
• From winning five seats in the last election in partnership with the BSP, Akhilesh's party in UP has dealt a bodyblow to the BJP, which had in 2019 won 62 seats on its own.
• Born on July 1, 1973, Akhilesh led the opposition's campaign from the front in the key political state, pairing well with Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and Arvind Kejriwal's outfit.
• This was the first general election after the death of SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, and Akhilesh did not disappoint, to the extent, it now leads on more seats than won in the 2004 election.
• The turnaround for the opposition came even as Akhilesh, along with Rahul Gandhi, was disparaged as "Do ladko ki jodi" often by Modi.
• The acronym PDA — Pichchde (backward classes), Dalits and Alpsankhyak (minorities) – coined by Akhilesh appears to have worked for the party.
• At the latest count, the SP was ahead of the BJP even on the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat, despite Ram temple in Ayodhya being a talking point for the saffron party throughout the run-up to the election.
• TMC, another INDIA bloc ally, was given the Bhadohi Lok Sabha seat in UP.
• Akhilesh in his speeches decried the ruling dispensation's jailing Arvind Kejriwal, as well as JMM leader Hemant Soren, to highlights the BJP's putative highhandedness.
• He praised Lalu Prasad and his son Tejaswi Yadav, who were charge in of holding the alliance's fort in Bihar.
• In the fray from Kannauj Lok Sabha seat, Akhilesh took it upon him to drum up support for his wife Dimple Yadav, and three cousins, who all are in the fray.
