All eyes on Rae Bareli, Amethi as 14 Lok Sabha constituencies go to the polls in Uttar Pradesh

All eyes will be on Uttar Pradesh with 14 Lok Sabha seats, including key seats like Rae Bareli, Lucknow and Amethi, going for polls during the fifth phase of the general election on May 20.

Polling will be held in 14 Lok Sabha seats namely Rae Bareli, Mohanlalganj, Lucknow, Amethi, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Jhansi, Banda, Fatehpur, Kaushambhi, Faizabad, Barabanki, Kaiserganj and Gonda. The seats where the electorate will be voting are considered significant for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as it will aim to repeat its 2019 parliamentary poll performance when it won 13 of the 14 seats in this phase with the lone seat of Rae Bareli going to the Congress.

Among the seats, Rae Bareli and Amethi constituencies, both synonymous with the Gandhi family, are making a lot of buzz with Congress workers from across the country visiting the places in a bid to galvanise support for the party nominees.
