After the third phase of voting in Uttar Pradesh on held on Tuesday, Yadav took to social media platform X and wrote, "Three phases have made BJP history. The massive voting in support of the INDI Alliance in the third phase has proved that no matter how much conspiracy the BJP does, the public will still cast their votes. The ruling party only creates obstacles in voting when it is losing. The disturbances created by the BJP have sent a message to the people that the BJP is losing. In 3 phases, the public has thrown the BJP out of the country's politics for three decades i.e. 30 years. In total, in 7 phases, the public will throw BJP out for the next 70 years, then the defeated BJP members will beat their heads over their negative politics."

Notably, the Lok Sabha election 2024 in Uttar Pradesh has been scheduled in seven phases. Votes polled in the seven phases of the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha election 2024 will be counted on June 4.

In the 2019 elections, turning the arithmetic of the SP-BSP 'Mahagatbandhan' in Uttar Pradesh upside down, the BJP and its ally Apna Dal (S) won 64 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats. The partners in the alliance, Akhilesh Yadav's SP and Mayawati's BSP could only muster 15 seats.

The election for 543 Lok Sabha seats will be held in seven phases starting April 19. (ANI)
