UP Lok Sabha election results 2019 Highlights: Looking forward to serving Varanasi's people, says PM Modi

A saffron wave had swept Uttar Pradesh in 2014 when the BJP and allies won an unprecedented 73 out of the 80 seats in the state. However, the contest seems more evenly poised this time with rivals SP, BSP and RLD joining hands to defy the Modi juggernaut. Can a united fight by the Mahagathbandhan translate into rich electoral dividends or will the BJP come close to, or even breach, its 2014 tally? Stay tuned for TOI's counting day coverage to find out.
