Prime Minister Narendra Modi led his party to a historic electoral victory in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, bolstering his ability to push through key reforms at the Centre and putting him in a strong position to win a re-election in 2019.
While the BJP and its allies won 324 of the state’s 403 assembly seats, the Congress got just seven and its ally Samajwadi Party led by chief minister Akhilesh Yadav bagged just 47.
The margin of victory was the largest seen by any party in more than three decades. The BJP ended up with 312 seats on its own.
