Uttar Pradesh elections results: Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav snatches back Uttar Pradesh in surprise turnaround

Akhilesh Yadav's stature saw a remarkable surge on Tuesday as his Samajwadi Party made significant inroads in Uttar Pradesh, diminishing the ruling BJP's dominance. According to the emerging trends, the SP was leading in 37 seats, compared to the BJP's 33 seats. The evolving tally poses a setback for the BJP, which had earlier projected a sweeping victory in the state, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds a parliamentary seat.
