Lok Sabha polls 2024: Uttar Pradesh is all set to vote yet again in the third phase of the ongoing general elections. The third phase of voting in Uttar Pradesh will take place on May 7. In this phase, 10 Lok Sabha constituencies are going to polls. These are Sambhal, Hathras, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Etah, Badaun, Bareilly and Aonla.
The key seat to watch in this phase of the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh would be Mainpuri. It remains to be seen whether Dimple Yadav retains the Samajwadi Party pocket borough or BJP's Jaiveer Singh springs a surprise.
