Prime Minister Narendra Modi was addressing a rally in Amethi on Thursday.
2022 Assembly Election LIVE Updates, Punjab Election, UP Chunav News: Speaking at a rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: “Parivarvaadis are so far from ground reality that they can’t see what’s happening. They want to come to power to increase their family’s stature and rule over you like kings. Our power isn’t about the mafia, but about the public.”
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday promised to enhance the security of cows, while also ensuring that the state government will help protect farmers’ fields from stray cattle. “We have completely stopped illegal slaughterhouses. I promise that we will not let gaumata be slaughtered while we’ll also protect fields of farmers from stray cattle,” the chief minister said, addressing a rally in the Tiloi assembly constituency of Amethi. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, while addressing a rally in Bahraich, said he was confident that the alliance his party leads will hit the double-century mark.
The fourth phase of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections on Wednesday recorded nearly 60 per cent polling, according to Election Commission’s data that was last updated at 9.30 pm. Spread over nine districts, the 59 constituencies had in the previous Assembly election seen a turnout of 62.55 per cent, and, in the Lok Sabha polls, recorded 60.03 per cent voting.

As Shah, Mayawati pat each other’s back, BSP candidate choice has a message
Half-way through the Uttar Pradesh elections, the BJP and BSP seem to have reached an unusual common ground: on how well Mayawati’s party would do come March 10. First, senior BJP leader Amit Shah said in an interview to News18 that Mayawati remained “relevant” contrary to political predictions, and that the BSP would also get Muslim support apart from its core Jatav votes. On Tuesday, Mayawati thanked Shah for his “greatness” in saying the same, and said the Samajwadi Party was wrong in claiming that the Muslim vote would be cornered by it.
An analysis of the candidates fielded by the BSP, in fact, shows that the party may damage the SP on more seats than it will do the BJP.
One reason is the number of Muslim candidates fielded by the BSP in an election where the SP is hoping to pull ahead of the BJP by rallying all its Muslim and Yadav support, plus extra votes from other communities.
