Uttar Pradesh election results: The results for the Uttar Pradesh elections 2022 - which were held in seven phases starting February 10 - are being declared today. The polling dates in the states were February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27, March 3 and 7.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who won a record second term today in India's most politically important state, celebrated his big triumph with holi colours and sweets at the BJP's office in Lucknow.
While the BJP threw a pantheon of star campaigners, Akhilesh Yadav's was virtually the lone face of his Samajwadi Party in the Uttar Pradesh elections. From distributing tickets to choosing allies, it was the SP president's one-man show.
Tuesday, March 8, was the third consecutive day Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had confined himself to his 'mutt' at Gorakhpur, even as exit polls by at least half a dozen agencies projected a comfortable majority and even landslide victory for the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).
