UP bypolls: Yogi Adityanath asserts authority with 7-2 victory; 'batenge to katenge" to remain central theme

The BJP's victory in seven out of nine Uttar Pradesh assembly bypolls signals a resurgence for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Adityanath's emphasis on Hindu unity and the BJP's focus on nationalism proved successful, even in traditionally challenging seats. Despite the setback, the Samajwadi Party remains the primary opposition force in the state.
