Highlights
- Three out of 7 phases of UP assembly election have been concluded

- After 3rd phase voting, BJP will get so many seats that SP, BSP, Cong' bails will be seized, CM said
High-stakes Uttar Pradesh assembly elections are underway with 3 of the total 7 phases having already been concluded. As the election is getting more intense, so are the leaders' campaigns. Uttar Pradesh incumbent Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is also holding rallies almost every day to strong chances of the BJP to retain power in the state.
As poll campaigns continue to take place in the poll-bound state, Yogi Adityanath was asked to talk about whether he is having any ambitions to become prime minister of the country.
Responding to this, Adityanath said, "I am a simple worker of BJP, have never run after any post or chair," PTI reported.
Earlier in the day, CM Yogi said during a poll rally said, "After 3rd phase voting, BJP will get so many seats that SP, BSP, Cong' bails will be seized. Earlier electricity was also politicized. There'll be electricity on Eid & Muharram but not on Holi, Diwali. But no such discrimination today. We believe in Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas."
"SP and BSP got boundary walls of Kabristan (cemetry) constructed, so they should better ask for votes from Kabristan," Yogi Adityanath said at a rally in Lakhimpur Kheri.
