With counting from the states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand and Goa underway on Saturday, early trends have shown that BJP have taken a clear lead in the most important of the elections in Uttar Pradesh with a lead in 317 out of 403 seats that are being contested.
The saffron party has shown similar dominance in Uttarakhand as well, leading in 51 out of the 71 seats in contention.
In Punjab, Congress was looking to form a majority having already lead in 65 out of 117 seats. While voting is in the early stages in both Goa and Manipur, the contest in the states is clearly between BJP and Congress.
These early trends have been reflected in the emotions on Twitter as people have taken to the social media site reacting to the developments.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
