The biggest and the most awaited assembly elections of 2022 are over and the counting of votes has begun at 8 am. Though it would take hours before the final result can be announced, to assess the initial trend.
According to the current trend, the BJP is on track to win a clear victory in Uttara Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Manipur while the Aam Admi party can be seen sweeping Punjab.
In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party appears to be taking a comfortable lead, with its opponents, Charanjit Singh Channi and Sukhbir Singh Badal, trailing far behind. In Goa, on the other hand, the BJP appears to have won 14 of the 40 seats in the state legislature. Until now, Congress has been able to secure 11 seats, leaving the Aam Aadmi Party and the Maharashtra wadi Gomantak Party with one each.
The BJP is once again seen as commanding a commanding lead in Uttar Pradesh. And is poised to win a second term in power in the northern state, making Yogi Adityanath the state’s first chief minister to return to power after serving a full five-year term.
Similarly, in Uttarakhand, Modi’s BJP can be seen taking the lead despite controversial decisions such as changing the chief minister three times in four months. The party used issues like national security, religious tourism, and army welfare to sway voters. The BJP secured a majority of votes, leaving the Congress with 22 seats and the Aam Aadmi Party with single digits. Uttrakhand’s voter turnout is 59.54 percent.
While in Manipur, BJP CM Biren Singh appears to be leading by 24 seats out of the 60 assembly seats. Manipur elections were held in two phases, with a voter turnout of 78.03 percent and 76.04 percent, respectively. Exit polls predicted that the ruling BJP would either become the single largest party or cross the halfway point.
