Speaking earlier at a press conference, Akhilesh Yadav said, "Results of UP elections are in. We are happy to accept it. We accept the verdict of the people. I thank all the people of UP who gave me five years to prove myself. I also want to thank party workers. We have worked hard for UP's progress, but I am sure the next govt will do a better job. 

"Alliance with Congress will continue. We made the right decision by allying with the Congress."
