Final results were compiled by the Election Commission of India and put up on its official website late Thursday night. According to the ECI's official data, the BJP won 255 Assembly constituencies out of the total 403 in Uttar Pradesh, 47 of the 70 in Uttarakhand, 20 of the 40 in Goa, and 32 of the 60 in Manipur.

The encouraging results of the BJP, the main ruling party in India since 2014, is seen as an outcome of Modi's pro-poor "public welfare schemes," especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when the federal government distributed free food to the economically weaker sections of the society. Besides, the Modi government ensured free COVID-19 vaccines to different groups of the country's population.

The latest victories of the BJP are also seen as a stamp on Modi's anti-corruption programs and policies.

Meanwhile, the AAP (Common Man Party) won a whopping 92 Assembly constituencies out of the total 117 in Punjab. During its electioneering the AAP had promised to the people of Punjab to begin a new form of developmental politics in the state, wherein the focus would be laid on improving health and education facilities, besides ensuring a corruption-free economy.
