india up election results live



After more than a month of voting, election results are today being counted in five states - Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the campaign for UP in an aggressive campaign and a big win in the crucial state will be seen as an endorsement of his decision to ban 500 and 1000 rupee notes to combat corruption and black money. The BJP ran a hard-fought campaign to wrest power from Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party, which contested this time in alliance with Rahul Gandhi's Congress. In Punjab, the Congress is seen to have its best chance in months to win a state, but has Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party close at its heels. The BJP also expects good tidings from Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur. The UP assembly election is billed as a semi-final for the 2019 national election. Will the BJP keep up its winning streak, will the Congress manage to return to political relevance and how close will India get to a significant third front? The answers to these elemental questions will lie in the results of 2017 Assembly Elections.
