Lucknow, March 10: The Samajwadi Party on Thursday said initial trends in Uttar Pradesh were "not authentic" and asked its workers to stay put at local assembly election offices till the counting of votes ends.

The Akhilesh Yadav-led SP claimed the initial trends, which showed the BJP leading in majority of the 403 seats in the state, were only to “create a perception” that the saffron party was winning.

"These trends are not authentic, a perception is being made that BJP is winning, so that the morale of the workers can be broken and results manipulated dishonestly after 3 PM. Uttar Pradesh Assembly Election Results 2022 Live Updates: BJP Crosses Majority Mark in Latest Trends, SP Leading on 90.
