BJP chief Amit Shah arrived at the BJP's headquarters in Delhi on Saturday afternoon to a big welcome from hundreds of party workers singing and dancing to celebrate the party's massive sweep of Uttar Pradesh today.
"The results are very encouraging for the BJP, we are going to form government in UP, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur," the BJP chief said, thanking voters and party workers, calling Saturday's election results a victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and policies.
The BJP is set to win over 310 of UP's 403 seats, leaving less than a 100 to be shared by the rest. It has also swept Uttarakhand, adjacent to UP.
