UP assembly election 2017 results Highlights: Modi leads BJP to stunning victory, Akhilesh resigns

The BJP won two-thirds majority in Uttar Pradesh, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the charge as assembly election results revealed on Saturday.

Here is the final tally- BJP: 324, SP- Congress: 55, BSP: 19, Others: 5

The results reflect a huge comeback for the BJP, which has been out of power in India’s largest state for 14 years. It is also a repeat of BJP’s Lok Sabha sweep, when it won 71 of the 80 seats.

A majority of exit polls had predicted a hung House, with the BJP ahead of the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance, which was way behind the saffron party.
