Up Election 2017

Yogi Adityanath was an unexpected pick for the chief minister's post after the BJP scored a landslide win in the 2017 UP Assembly polls.

Most opinion polls forecast that the BJP is going to win by a clear and convincing margin in Uttar Pradesh, although, on average, the BJP is forecast to win about 100 seats fewer than in the 2017 landslide.

Sixty-one constituencies spread across 12 districts of Uttar Pradesh are voting in the fifth phase of elections in the state today. Polling began at 7 am and will continue till 6 pm.

Voting was held in 59 constituencies of Uttar Pradesh, including state capital Lucknow and Lakhimpur Kheri, today in the fourth phase of assembly polls. Five seats under Raebareli, the bastion of Sonia Gandhi, also voted.

The first of the seven-phase polling in Uttar Pradesh -- said to be the semi-final before the general election of 2024 -- ended peacefully on Thursday. 60.17% people voted for the 58 seats in western UP, a shade lower than the 63.5% in 2017.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BSP, Samajwadi and RLD had formed an alliance against the BJP. The Congress with its leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party had fought the 2017 assembly polls in the state in an alliance.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the "river of development" had stopped in Uttar Pradesh before 2017 due to the dynastic approach of "fake samajwadis'.

The alleged "exodus" of Hindus from Uttar Pradesh's Kairana before 2017 - a claim widely debunked as a communal bogey - took centre-stage as Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday launched a door-to-door election campaign in the state's west.
