The electoral battle in five states ended after nearly a month-long voter process and eyes are now set on March 10 — assembly election results 2022 — when the counting will begin in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, and Manipur. The assembly election results will decide the future of these states for the coming five years.
The election in the most populous state — Uttar Pradesh — remains the biggest contest with 403 assembly seats. The hugely anticipated results will decide whether the BJP, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, would break the 35-year-old jinx in Uttar Pradesh and come back for a second term. Many see the 2022 UP elections as a semi-final to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and a win this time will give a big fillip to the BJP’s prospects.
