BJP doing well in UP, show early trends

By Saumya Mishra

Greater Noida: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leading in 222 seats, crossing the halfway mark to get a simple majority in the 403 - member Uttar Pradesh Assembly.

The Samajwadi Party (SP ) which is hoping to come back to power, is leading in 88 seats in early trends available from 323 assembly segments that were shown by Times Now.

In the initial hours of the vote count, it appeared to be a fight between BJP and SP only, where BJP seemed to be having 1/3rd of the seats. However, the scenario changed as the day progressed.

Times Now Key Race Alert shows Akhilesh Yadav (SP) is leading in Karhal, CM of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath is leading Gorakhpur Urban. Brajesh Pathak from BJP is leading Lucknow Cantt.

BJP seems to be leading in all three seats in Hathras, a much talked about place.

BJP is sweeping the western Uttar Pradesh. According to the first EVM round from Uttar Pradesh BJP is leading followed by SP.

The postal ballots indicated a good beginning for the BJP as it surged ahead SP in Uttar Pradesh.

The UP map seems to be populated with BJP and SP whereas BSP and Congress losses are split with just six and five seats to these parties respectively.

While the exit polls are predicting a victory for the saffron party, no state government has returned to power twice since 1985, and so it seems as per the counting trends that the Bharatiya Janata Party might just retain its power in Uttar Pradesh.
