Yogi, not SEC, declares results BJP ‘sweeps’ Uttar Pradesh block pramukh polls marred by violence We have won 635 of the 825 seats, including 334 where we won unopposed: Chief minister
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath “announced” the results of Saturday’s Uttar Pradesh block pramukh polls before the state election commission (SEC) did, raising further questions about an election marred by allegations of the BJP kidnapping voters and the official machinery working “like party cadre”.
By the time Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his congratulations on the BJP’s “bumper victory” about two hours later, the state poll panel had still not officially declared the results.
