Assembly Elections 2017 | UP does not believe in communal politics: Yogi Adityanath

Riding high on the saffron party's splendid show in Uttar Pradesh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Yogi Adityanath said on Saturday that the people have outrightly rejected the Congress-Samajwadi Party (SP) alliance.

Adityanath said that the people of Uttar Pradesh have voted for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda of development, adding that the hard work put by the BJP workers had paid off. "The Centre's vikas yojana schemes for the people, BJP president Amit Shah's election strategy and the hard work of party members has paid off today as our party is in the lead," he said.

Cornering the opposition parties, he further said that Uttar Pradesh does not believe in communal politics and has voted for development this time. 

Uttar Pradesh went to polls in seven phases in the months of February and March. A total of 4,854 candidates are in fray for 403 assembly constituencies.
