Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday morning thanked voters for increasing the seats and vote share of his party in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
“We have shown that BJP seats can be reduced. This reduction of BJP will continue unabated,” read a tweet by former UP CM Yadav.
“More than half the confusion and delusion has been cleared, the rest will happen in a few days. The struggle for public interest will win!” Yadav said.
Yadav, fighting his first Assembly election, won by more than 60,000 votes from Karhal seat in Mainpuri.
“Hearty thanks to the people of UP for increasing our seats by two and a half times and vote percentage by one and a half times,” the SP chief said.
The Samajwadi Party has increased its vote share in Uttar Pradesh to 31.8%. This is a jump of around 10% from the 21.8% vote share it had managed in 2017. The party’s best performance before this election was in 2012 when it polled 29.12% of the votes.
