Uttar Pradesh, with 80 Lok Sabha constituencies, will go to polls in seven phases. The voting for the first phase will begin on April 19 and end with the seventh phase on June 1. The result will be declared on June 4.
The constituencies include Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Varanasi and Gandhi family bastions Amethi and Raebareli, which the Congress appears struggling to save.
The Samajwadi Party and the Congress have stitched an alliance in the state to take on Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance. Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party is going solo in the state.
The BJP-led ruling coalition won 64 seats -- BJP 62, Apna Da(S) 2 -- out of the total 80 constituencies in 2019, contributing significantly to the overwhelming majority that the Narendra Modi government enjoyed in the outgoing Lok Sabha.
