Battle Of The Queens In Amethi As UP Votes In 5th Phase Today | Read
The Gandhi family stronghold Amethi, represented in parliament by Rahul Gandhi, and the temple town of Ayodhya are among the areas voting today in the fifth of seven-phase elections in Uttar Pradesh. A 57.36 per cent turnout was recorded till 5 pm across the 11 districts - including five bordering Nepal - that are voting today. In an increasingly acrimonious campaign for India's most politically important state, words like "Gujarat's donkeys" and "Kasab" came up during rallies. On Sunday evening, there was a flag march by central forces in sensitive areas close to the Terai region in Nepal's foothills.
