Credit for win goes to Modi: Ravi Shankar Prasad
Another BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi said the results even surpassed her own estimation of seat tally in UP and in this election the result was not owing to polarisation but constructive politics.
A senior Congress leader said the parties should now move beyond Modi phobia and campaign.
As counting progressed it is a saffron surge in heartland India with the BJP crossing the halfway mark in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand in a massive show of mandate while Congress is taking over in Punjab where the Akalis are losing badly and AAP emerged as the second force.
In Uttar Pradesh so far, the result projects that BJP is winning 300 seats leaving behind SP-CONG alliance by a big margin.
The Samajwadi-Congress alliance are ahead in only 75 seats. BSP of Mayawait is leading in 20.
