A look at BJP's victory in the UP polls through the rallies held by PM Modi.
Updated : Mar 11, 2017, 08:29 PM IST
BJP President Amit Shah attributed the party's stunning win in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him the "tallest leader after independence". Modi himself described the big victores as "very humbling and overwhelming".
Top leaders of the party, which captured power in UP with an unprecedented three-fourths majority, ascribed the win to the Modi government's "pro-poor policies" like Jan Dhan and demonetisation. State BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya said the 'Modi wave' has catapulted the party to power in a big way.
The Prime Minister campaigned extensively in the state and the election results show its effect.
Here is a list of places where Prime Minister Modi held rallies. All but two constituencies saw BJP victories by a large margin. The two seats in which BJP was defeated include Kannauj, where Anil Kumar Dohare of Samajwadi Party won, and the Mau constituency, where BSP strongman Mukhar Ansari emerged victorious. In total Modi held 23 rallies in UP.
