The Samajwadi Party is inching towards simple majority in Uttar Pradesh and is likely to form the next government in the state.
According to the leads from all the 403 seats, Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party is leading in close to 200 seats.
Counting is underway in all the 403 seats and all results are expected by evening.
If the leads convert into results, the SP will be in a position to form the government even without the support of the Congress. Smaller parties and independent candidates may play a crucial role in case of a hung assembly.
SP state president and star campaigner for the party Akhilesh Yadav said that after formation of the government, the first priority of the SP would be to provide relief to the farmers through loan waivers and improvement in power supply. He said that the BSP got five years to develop the state but it squandered money on parks and stones. However, he also said that SP will not touch dalit memorials built by Mayawati. "They will be safe," he said.
The BSP is expected to remain second despite a loss of over 100 seats in comparison to the 206 it got in 2007.
Congress and BJP are likely to improve but are fighting for third and fourth place.
