The BJP under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has bulldozed its way to power in Uttar Pradesh winning 255 seats and securing 41.3% vote share.
The Congress, which fought alone without aligning with Samajwadi Party, was routed to just 2 seats.
The BJP has also won the states of Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand.
As it became clearer on who is emerging as the winner in four of the five states that went for elections, Karti Chidambaram, the Congress MP from Sivaganga tweeted asking for suggestions to watch something on Netflix.
Any recommendations for what to watch on @netflix now!

The tweet became a talking point inviting varying responses across party lines.
Responding to Karti Chidambaram, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya came up with a candid suggestion laced with political humour.
The Bengaluru South MP suggested “Don’t look at (UP)” along with an image of Leonardo Di Caprio saying cheers indicating the Congress’ colossal defeat in Uttar Pradesh (UP).
I would say –
Don't look (at) ‘UP’ 😉 https://t.co/ycDoSz29tZ pic.twitter.com/4Tj3K6Sh3M— Tejasvi Surya (@Tejasvi_Surya) March 10, 2022
