Voting for the seventh and last phase of UP polls began at 7 am today, the major districts which are likely to face fierce competition between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) include Azamgarh, Varanasi, and Mirzapur divisions. As many as 613 candidates are in the fray for 54 constituencies spread across nine districts of Mau, Azamgarh, Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Varanasi, Chandauli, Mirzapur, Sonbhadra, and Bhadohi (Sant Ravidas Nagar).

BJP hopes to retain its dominance in the state while SP not only aspires to hold Azamgarh but is also trying to defeat the ruling party by putting its focus on wooing young voters on the issue of employment.
