Lok Sabha Polls: Voting In Uttar Pradesh Across 7 Phases
Uttar Pradesh, which sends the largest number of members to the Lok Sabha, is crucial for the BJP's plan for a third consecutive term in office. The INDIA bloc too hopes to put up a respectable fight in the state, now that the Samajwadi Party and the Congress have finally stitched together an alliance. Uttar Pradesh will vote in all seven phases of the Lok Sabha elections, beginning April 19 and ending on June 1. The BJP-led ruling coalition won 64 seats -- BJP 62, Apna Da(S) 2 -- out of the total 80 constituencies in 2019, contributing significantly to the overwhelming majority that the Narendra Modi government enjoyed in the outgoing Lok Sabha.
