The road to Delhi's 'throne' goes through Uttar Pradesh. Barring a few occasions, party which has won maximum number of Lok Sabha seats from Uttar Pradesh has went on to form government at the Centre. In 2014, the 'Modi wave' swept across the state with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning 71 out 80 Lok Sabha seats.
