The Uttar Pradesh assembly elections reach a crescendo today as the battle for India’s most-populous state moves to the eastern part which may prove to be the decider in an election no-one is willing to call. As many as 141 constituencies across 25 districts are yet to go to polls. These electoral segments are across the region that contributed handsomely to the ruling Samajwadi party’s massive victory in the last assembly elections.

This time around, political opponents are seeking a caste coalition and rising disenchantment with sitting SP legislators to topple incumbent Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in eastern up. The high-stakes battle has seen the most-bitter phase of campaigning with tempers fraying and new lows in political barbs.

In the fifth phase, voting for 51 seats in 12 districts is underway as 18.4 million voters decide the fate of 607 candidates. These districts include Amethi, Sultanpur, Ambedkar Nagar , and Bahraich and Shravasti in Terai region.
In the last election, the Samajwadi Party had won 37 seats, the BJP and Congress won five each while the Bahujan Samaj party could only manage three.

The election commission has pulled out all stops to ensure fair polling; central forces conducted a flag march in sensitive areas close to the Terai region in Nepal’s foothills which go to polls today.
