The counting of votes has begun for Assembly elections in five states- Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur. Polling was conducted for 403 seats in Uttar Pradesh during seven phases of elections. People exercised their democratic exercise during two phases of elections to a total of 60 seats in Manipur Assembly on February 28 and March 5. Likewise, Punjab went to the polls for 117 seats on February 20 whereas voters exercised their franchise to select representatives to 70 seats in Uttarakhand and 40 Assembly constituencies in Goa on February 14.
So far, several exit poll surveys have indicated about blooming of lotus in UP again with BJP set for clear majority. The polls also forecast that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) may come away with most seats in Punjab.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that the Assembly poll results are a stamp of approval for the BJP's pro-poor and pro-active governance.
As per the Assembly election results declared on Thursday, the BJP is all set to form the government in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Manipur, while it is just one short of the majority mark in Goa. In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has swept the polls with a thumping majority.
21:47 PM(2 years ago )
The BJP has so far won 45 Assembly seats in Uttarakhand and leads in two more, while the Congress has emerged victorious in 17 seats and leads in two more. The BSP has one a seat and leads in one more, while Independent candidates have bagged two seats.
Though heading for a big win for a second consecutive term in Uttarakhand, the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) tally seems to be shrinking by around 10 seats. It had won 57 seats in the 2017 Uttarakhand Assembly polls.
The Congress on the other hand has improved its performance by winning 17 seats and leading in two more. It had won 11 seats in 2017 against the BJP's historic score of 57 out of a total of 70 Assembly seats in the state.
However, the most notable candidates to lose in the 2022 Uttarakhand polls are Congress veteran Harish Rawat and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who had led their respective parties' poll campaigns in the state and were billed to be the top contenders for the post of chief minister.
Dhami's loss may lead to a fresh search in the BJP for a new face for the top post or the party may prefer to continue with him as it has already faced much criticism for giving three chief ministers to the state in less than five years, despite getting a huge mandate in the 2017 Assembly polls.

All exit polls have been proved wrong in Goa. BJP has scripted new history in Uttarakhand- for the first time a party has come for a second consecutive term in the state: PM Modi on Assembly results in 5 states- UP, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa and Punjab.
When we formed govt in 2019 (at Centre), 'experts' said it was because of the 2017 victory (in UP)... I believe the same 'experts' will say that 2022 election result will decide the fate of 2024 national elections.

The ruling BJP is set to win all eight Assembly seats in the Lakhimpur Kheri district, the epicentre of the farmers' protest, in the polls to the 403-seat Assembly in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday till 6 p.m.
In 2021, during the peak of the farmers' protest on October 4, Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Teni's son mowed down half a dozen people under his car, including four farmers protesting against the now repealed three contentious farm laws.
It was widely perceived that the farmers' anger would cost the BJP electorally in the district and to some extent in western Uttar Pradesh.
However, with counting underway through the day, it is clear that the BJP is set to win all eight Assembly seats in the district. Incidentally, on all eight seats, the BJP candidates are trending ahead of the distant second Samajwadi Party candidates.
In Palia, Harvinder Kumar Sahni alias Romi Sahni of the BJP is ahead of Pritinder Singh Kakku of the Samajwadi Party (SP); in Nighasan, BJP's Shashank Verma is ahead of the SP's R.S. Kushwaha; in Gola Gokrannath, Arvind Giri of the BJP is racing ahead of Vinay Tiwari of the SP and in Sri Nagar, Manju Tyagi of the BJP is set to trump SP's Ram Sharan.
Similarly, in Dhaurahra, Vinod Shankar of the BJP is set to trounce Varun Singh of the SP; in Lakhimpur, Yogesh Verma of the BJP is leading Utkarsh Verma Madhur of the SP; in Kasta, BJP's Saurabh Singh is trending ahead of Sunil Kumar Singh of the SP while in Mohammadi, Lokendra Pratap Singh of the BJP is leading Daud Ahmad of the SP.
The massive countrywide agitation against the three contentious farm laws had prompted Narendra Modi-led Union government to repeal them in November 2021, nearly two months after the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.
Filing criminal cases and bringing the accused to justice was one of the prominent demands of the farmer organisations.
Soon after the Centre had brought in an ordinance for the three Union farm laws, multiple farmer organisations under the consortium of Samyukt Kisan Morcha had launched a protest that spread beyond the national capital across India but was mostly confined to Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana.
On October 4, 2021, four farmers were among those killed when a car ran over the protesting farmers at Lakhimpur Kheri.

The BJP, which won 19 seats and leading in 12 others in the 60-member Manipur Assembly, is heading for a returning to power in the state for the second consecutive term.

Biren Singh, who won from his traditional seat Heingang for the record 5th time, told the media that the BJP would form the government with the support of the smaller parties.
"In consultation with the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi), Home Minister (Amit Shah) and National party President (J.P.Nadda), the strategies and decision to make a coalition government would be decided," the Chief Minister told the media after offering puja to Shri Shri Govindaji Temple accompanied by BJP's National Spokesman Sambit Patra.
BJP's estranged ally NPP, which had won four seats five years ago, won and leading in nine seats this time. This time, the NPP and BJP's another estranged ally NPF had contested the polls separately and had fielded candidates against each other.
Among the notable candidates, former ministers and BJP nominees Thokchom Radheshyam Singh (Heirok), Nemcha Kipgen (Kangpokpi) won their seats.

The chief ministerial candidates of the BJP, Congress and AAP faced defeat in the Uttarakhand Assembly polls.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami lost to Congress candidate Bhuvan Chand Kapri in Khatima constituency.
Kapdi bagged 52 per cent (44,479) votes while Dhami secured 37,425 votes.

Bisht won 53 per cent votes securing 44,851 against Harish Rawat's 28,251.
Congress rebel candidate Sandhya Dalakoti is said to be one of the reasons for Harsh Rawat's defeat. Earlier, the grand old party had given the ticket to Sandhya Dalakoti from Lalkuan but later fielded Harish Rawat from the seat. Annoyed over the change, Sandhya Dalakoti contested as an independent candidate. The rebel Congress candidate dented Harish Rawat's poll prospects.
This is a second big defeat for Harish Rawat. In the earlier polls, Harish Rawat had contested from Haridwar and Kichha and lost both the seats.

The first regional party that has won outside its state of origin, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is set to foray into national politics.
The landslide win in Punjab has positioned AAP in direct competition to the nation's grand old party, the Congress.
In the five-state Assembly polls, which were regarded as a kind of semi-final, the Congress has been decimated. After the loss in Punjab, Congress is left with only two states -- Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
Arvind Kejriwal, while addressing the party workers at the party office in Delhi on Thursday after the results, said that this was a stamp on honest politics and "Bhagat Singh said that the system has to be changed and the people of Punjab have changed the system."
The party has often made a mention of its national ambition, and has fielded candidates in several states. With the Punjab win, the ambition finally seems to be taking shape.
The elated party workers say that Kejriwal will be the Prime Ministerial candidate in future as an alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Kejriwal shares a good rapport with non-BJP leaders, including Mamata Banerjee, Sharad Pawar and Akhilesh Yadav. He may become a joint opposition candidate at the cost of Congress in view of the latter's continued downslide since 2014.
AAP's Punjab in-charge Raghav Chaddha said that the BJP took 10 years to form its government in a state, but AAP has expanded its base to second state in Punjab and in both the states the AAP has got landslide victory.
Apart from Punjab, AAP has performed well in Goa where it secured around 4 per cent votes. In Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, the party has contested and though it has not won, but they have tried to make their organisation alive in each district of the state.
AAP's Bhagwant Mann, who is the Chief Ministerial candidate, won Dhuri seat with a margin of 58,206 votes. The party is heading for a landslide win in the 117-member legislative Assembly.
In his first public address in his home town Sangrur after winning the seat and seeing the meteoric rise of the party, Mann promised to fix unemployment as his first task in office.
"No government office in the state will have the photo of the Punjab CM, but will carry a portrait of B.R. Ambedkar....We will ensure that the youth do not have to go abroad... Within a month, you will observe changes," he added
Mann said he will take oath as the Chief Minister in Bhagat Singh's ancestral village Khatkar Kalan and not in Raj Bhawan. Taking a dig at the opposition leaders, he said, "The elder Badal has lost...Captain (Amarinder Singh) Sahab has also lost. Majithia is also losing. Channi has also lost from both seats."
