As many as 2.06 crore eligible voters will decide fate of 613 candidates contesting for 54 seats. PM Modi’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi and Akhilesh Yadav’s Lok Sabha constituency Azamgarh are voting today.
One of the most-watched candidates in this phase is former minister Om Prakash Rajbhar, who is contesting from the Zahoorabad seat. Rajbhar had won the seat in 2017 as a candidate of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, which was a BJP ally.
