Assembly election results 2022: Yogi Aditynath wins second term in UP, SP puts up fight

Yogi Adityanath wins record second term in the country’s most populous state, ringing in early Holi for the saffron party and defying sentiments triggered by the devastating second wave of COVID and the farmer protests in the western region

With the BJP set to return to power in Uttar Pradesh, Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma on Thursday said that the people of the state have rejected the Opposition’s narrow-minded politics and put their stamp of approval on the saffron party’s double engine government.

The people understood the “opportunistic character” of the SP-RLD alliance, he said. The people have bulldozed the Opposition’s dynastic politics and politics of casteism and regionalism with their votes, Sharma said. “The BJP has taken forward the culture of development,” he said.
