BJP is leading on 248 seats in UP assembly elections 2022

 Modi led hardline Hindu nationalist BJP is going to retain power in largest Indian state of Utter Pradesh

The hardline Hindu nationalist BJP is going to retain power in UP as it leading on 248 assembly seats out of 403 strong house. It means BJP on the way to lose at least 62 seats in UP. The SP led by Akhilesh Yadav is leading on 115 seats so far. The smaller parties are leading on 33 seats so far.  It is another disappointing result for old grand party Congress which is leading on just three seats.

The BJP is set to retain Uttar Pradesh for a second term after the party gained massive leads in the first two hours of counting of votes in the northern state. 

The 2022 assembly election has turned out to be one of the most interesting election battles in the country. Akhilesh Yadav - who had been taking on the BJP on a gamut of issues - was the Samajwadi Party’s chief ministerial candidate.

 With caste dynamics playing a critical role as always in UP, Yadav's allies were leaders of the Jat community and those representing the backward castes. The Congress and Mayawati's BSP were also among the challengers. The UP election result 2022 will set the tone for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections where several opposition leaders are trying to form an anti-BJP front. The UP Assembly Election 2022 was held in seven phases between February 10 and March 7.
