Driven by the Modi wave, the BJP today stormed to power in Uttar Pradesh after 14 years, securing three-fourth majority and demolishing rivals SP- Congress and BSP in a lopsided election results. Showing astonishing performance, the BJP got 312 seats in the 403-member Assembly. Its allies Apna Dal(S) and SBSP bagged nine seats and four seats, respectively, taking the total tally of the combine to 325. On the other hand, the SP won 47 seats while its ally Congress got 7 seats. The BSP won just 19 seats, finishing a dismal third.

Many believe all evil in India came into being after May 16, 2014. Here are some people who seemed rather unhappy or distraught with the overwhelming verdict for the BJP:
