Interestingly, Modi's party returns to power in Uttar Pradesh after a 14-year gap during which regional parties such as the SP and BSP had held sway.

BJP has won 325 seats in Uttar Pradesh while it took over 57 seats in Uttarakhand.

Party leaders attributed the success to Modi, who along with BJP president Amit Shah had also marshalled the cadres for a landslide victory in the 2014 parliamentary elections.
