"This is a victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s corruption-free administration and welfare measures for the poor," Modi`s campaign manager, Amit Shah, said in a tweet.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s party was on course for a landslide victory in India`s most important battleground state, early returns showed on Saturday, in a personal triumph that will strengthen his claim to a second term as national leader.
Investors hope victory will embolden Modi to embark on more reforms, including the launch of a national sales tax, to boost economic growth.
Celebrations erupted outside BJP offices in state capital Lucknow and Delhi, with party workers dancing in the streets and splashing each other with coloured paints.
Almost four in ten voters backed the BJP based on early counting, the election commission said, close to the party`s vote share in Uttar Pradesh in the 2014 national election when it won the biggest national majority in three decades.
