LUCKNOW, Mar 6:
Voting for the seventh and final phase of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections covering 54 seats, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Parliamentary constituency Varanasi, will be held tomorrow to decide the phase of 613 candidates.
Polling will start at 7 AM and will continue till 6 PM in Azamgarh, Mau, Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Chandauli, Varanasi, Mirzapur, Bhadohi and Sonbhadra districts.
The campaigning for the final phase ended on Saturday with the BJP and its rival parties attacking each other on a range of issues from handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, law and order, economic and security situation to farmers’ stir.
Polling on these 54 seats will also mark the end of the almost month-long voting process in the politically crucial Uttar Pradesh that had began on February 10 after the announcement of elections in mid-January.
The counting of votes will be undertaken on March 10.
Of the 54 seats in this phase, 11 are reserved for the Scheduled Castes and two for the Scheduled Tribes. There are 2.06 crore eligible voters.
This final round will also be a test of the alliances carved out by both the BJP and Samajwadi Party with small caste-based parties.(PTI)
