Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Friday said the Uttar Pradesh voters rejected the clan, caste and dynasty-driven politics in the state in the Lok Sabha elections.

He said the BJP fought the polls on issues of development, governance and nationalism.

Speaking to reporters here after BJP's big victory in the state, Adityanath also claimed the Lok Sabha election was the first one without any anti-incumbency against the government.

Attacking the opposition, Adityanath said, "The claims of those who used to say the caste equations in the state are against the BJP, have been rejected by the people."
