Election Results 2022 Updates: AAP Sweep In Punjab, BJP Set For Huge Win In Uttar Pradesh
The Aam Aadmi Party appeared to be on track for a landslide victory in Punjab, with most of its candidates winning seats that were previously considered Congress strongholds. As the counting of votes entered the third hour on Thursday, both the Congress’s top leaders in Punjab, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and state unit boss Navjot Singh Sidhu, were trailing. Former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh is trailing in his Patiala Urban constituency.
The BJP appears to have successfully combated anti-incumbency in Uttar Pradesh, winning over 250 seats. The Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party are tied for second place. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of Gorakhpur and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav of Karhal were among the leaders. In the 403-member legislative assembly, 202 votes are required for a majority.
The BJP has extended its lead in Uttarakhand, with the Congress trailing in the hill state, according to election trends. According to election trends as of 9:55 a.m., the BJP is leading in 44 seats. According to early polls, Congress has a 20-seat lead. In one seat, Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party is leading.
According to the most recent trends available, Congress was leading in 15 of Goa’s 40 Assembly seats, while the BJP was leading in 13.
In Manipur, polls show that the BJP is in the lead. In the first round of voting in Manipur, the BJP was leading in 22 seats. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party was leading in 11 of the state’s electoral districts. The Congress, which has been reduced to a virtual non-player in Uttar Pradesh in recent years, tried to win voters with the ‘ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon’ campaign, which focused on issues concerning women and their safety, and questioned the BJP’s “caste and religion-based politics.”
In Punjab, Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is riddled with infighting, has emerged as a major challenger to Congress. The Shiromani Akali Dal and former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s Punjab Lok Congress, which has allied with the BJP, are among the other poll contenders. This time, Goa’s Assembly elections were held in a single phase, with all 40 constituencies voting on the same day. With defections and horse-trading becoming a major polling issue in the state, several political parties, including Congress, have made efforts to protect their candidates.
