While BJP has maintained its lead, the Samajwadi Party (SP) too put up a good show. The party managed to gain a healthy 10% increase from its show in 2017. The party’s vote share has swelled in Uttar Pradesh to 31.8%. At one point, during the polling stage, it seemed that it will be a close competition between SP and BJP but the party will have to be content with this.
Congress and BSP are the two parties that lost their vote share. The share for both the parties went down by as much as 18%. 4% of this share too went to BJP’s account. While SP has lapped up 14% of this share.

Another big point for BJP’s victory was that it marked good gains in the western, northeastern, Doab and Bundelkhand regions. The Yogi-led party made good inroads in these regions and their margins were as healthy as 12 to 15 per cent.
Despite the challenges in the state, Uttar Pradesh has again cast its vote in favour of Yogi. It is to be seen how the next five years pan out for the party and state.
