Delhi: The BJP stormed back to power in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand on Saturday securing landslide wins while the Congress achieved a similar feat in Punjab and emerged as the single largest party in Goa and Manipur which threw up a hung Assembly.

Anchored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah, the BJP juggernaut rolled on in UP and in the neighbouring state of Uttarakhand, bagging three-fourth majority.

The BJP returned to power in the politically crucial state of UP after a gap of 14 years during which regional parties such as the SP and the BSP held sway.

The BJP on Saturday stormed back to power in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand securing landslide wins while the Congress achieved a similar feat in Punjab and emerged as the single largest party in Goa and Manipur which threw up a hung Assembly.

The BJP retured to power in the politically crucial state of UP after a gap of 14 years during which regional parties such as the SP and the BSP held sway.

Showing astonishing performance, the BJP got 312 seats in the 403-member Assembly. Its allies Apna Dal(S) and SBSP bagged nine seats and four seats, respectively, taking the total tally of the combine to 325.

On the other hand, the SP won 47 seats while its ally the Congress got 7 seats. The BSP won just 19 seats, finishing a dismal third.

As the Assembly elections in the five states turned into a virtual referendum on Modi's popularity and demonetisation, the BJP decimated the ruling SP, its alliance partner Congress and Mayawati's BSP in UP.

In Uttarakhand, the BJP won 56 of the 70 seats in the state, reducing Congress to minuscule minority in the state Assembly with a poor tally of 11 seats.
