Yadav further expressed confidence over winning the assembly polls.
Pollsters have predicted that the BJP will emerge as the largest party in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur while a setback for SAD- BJP alliance in Punjab.
As voting wraps up in five states – Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand, the results will be declared on March 11.
