LUCKNOW: Claims and counterclaims on the impacts of farmers' protest, law and order situation and communal division would be put to test as the western frontier of Uttar Pradesh votes in the first phase on Thursday.
As it happens in a long-drawn electoral battle, the voting trend in the opening round would set the momentum for the remaining six. Therefore, keen on drawing the first blood, the dramatis personae have led a high-voltage campaign despite Covid restrictions, to drive home their message.
