Uttar Pradesh votes today in 53 constituencies including in Raebareli, the parliamentary constituency of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, and Allahabad, in the fourth of the seven-phase elections. Congress has teamed up with Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party to make it a three –cornered contest against the BJP and four-time Chief Minister Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party or BSP. The BJP had won 72 of 80 Lok Sabha seats in UP in the 2014 general elections. It has not declared a chief ministerial candidate and has based its campaign around Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s star power.
It will also test Samajwadi Party's strength to hold its ground after a bitter family feud which saw Akilesh yadav wrest control from his father and party patriach Mulayam Singh.
According to the Election Commission, rich candidates are the ones whose declared assets at the time of filing their nomination papers are worth over 1 crore. Here’s a list comprising total number of rich candidates fielded by each party in phase 4.
