Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday exuded confidence over Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s victory in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. He said it is an "undeniable possibility" that the number of seats BJP will win will increase this time.
"BJP will not only repeat the history but it is also an undeniable possibility that our number of seats will increase," Rajnath Singh was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh cast his vote at a polling booth in Lucknow.
Polling is underway in 59 Assembly seats which are spread across the districts of Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Hardoi, Unnao, Lucknow, Rae Bareli, Banda, and Fatehpur.
