The seven-phase assembly election in Uttar Pradesh has reached its last leg. So far, the fate of candidates in 349 seats has been sealed, with the final 54 seats going to the poll on Monday.
Yet political pundits are still wary of predictions, believing this could be a very close contest – similar to what we saw in the Bihar poll of 2020. The only difference is that Uttar Pradesh is almost double the size of Bihar in terms of population, and it has one and a half times more seats.
