BJP ecstatic after achieving 'sabka saath' in UP

Riding high on the early voting trends, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today expressed its delight over achieving 'sabka saath' in Uttar Pradesh and said that it was upbeat about forming the next government even in the states of Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand.

A confident BJP leader Zadar Islam said that the saffron party would achieve two-third majority in politically crucial Uttar Pradesh.

"The people were saying that we won't get more than three seats in Punjab," he added.

Another BJP leader Anil Baluni also echoed similar sentiments and claimed that exit polls have already shown the saffron party's victory.

"In UP we have talked about 'sabka saath, sabka vikas' and now we have achieved 'sabka saath'. The whole credit goes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP chief Amit Shah under whose guidance we have worked and achieved this," added BJP's Saroj Pandey.

Meanwhile, the BJP workers have begun celebrations in PM Modi's parliamentary constituency Varanasi and the state capital Lucknow.

Uttar Pradesh went to polls in seven phases in the months of February and March.

A total of 4,854 candidates are in fray for 403 assembly constituencies.
