Laptop of SP ticket its way to power in UP

Samajwadi Party was set to capture power in Uttar Pradesh routing Mayawati's BSP.

It has already won 36 seats and was ahead in 183 others in the 403-member Assembly.

Mayawati, whose BSP won a majority in the 2007 elections sewing up a rainbow coalition of Dalits, upper castes and Muslims, fared poorly and was reduced to 85 seats.

BSP, which won 206 seats last time, has won in 12 seats and was leading in 72 others.

BJP, which had 51 seats in 2007, has won five seats and was ahead only in 41 seats while the Congress was ahead in 21 and has won four seats. Congress ally RLD has won one seat and was leading in nine.
