UP Lok Sabha Election 2024: Voting took place on 14 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh in the 5th round on Monday. It also included the seats of Amethi and Rae Bareli where the credibility of the Nehru-Gandhi family is a big test. Till 5 pm, 57.79% voting had taken place in UP. Final figures are still awaited. Of the 14 seats in Uttar Pradesh where voting took place in the fifth phase, 13 were held by BJP, whereas Rae Bareli was such a fort, which Congress had saved even in 2019.
This time Rahul Gandhi contested elections in Rae Bareli. Remained present in Rae Bareli on the day of voting. First of all Churva went to Hanuman temple. Had darshan and puja and then set out to inspect the booths. One by one Rahul Gandhi went to various booths and met people.
Rae Bareli has been a stronghold of Congress. Dinesh Pratap Singh, who lost the election to Sonia Gandhi in 2019, is once again in the fray and claims that like Amethi, the history of Rae Bareli will also change on June 4. On the other hand, BJP candidate from Rae Bareli Dinesh Pratap Singh said that the party with two MPs has become the largest party in the world under the leadership of Modi ji. Just as BJP has grown, Rae Bareli will also grow. Congress is not getting booth agents. Priyanka Gandhi’s hard work has been visible in the assembly elections.
As interesting as the contest was in Rae Bareli, the battle in Amethi was equally interesting. On one side, there was Smriti Irani, who defeated Rahul Gandhi in 2019, while on the other side, Kishori Lal Sharma, BJP candidate from Amethi, was Smriti Irani, who was close to the Gandhi family. For I have voted for Rashtrasevak. The people of Amethi are also with the national servant in the national interest. Meanwhile, Congress candidate KL Sharma said that when people start contesting elections, things change. Because you cannot make false promises to the public. The development of the people which has stopped will be started.
Kaiserganj seat of UP was also in the headlines in the 5th phase of elections. In place of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, BJP gave ticket to his son Karan Bhushan. But the credibility of Brij Bhushan is at stake in the elections. Kaiserganj MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh said that there is no challenge to Karanbhushan Singh. Atmosphere is not created in a day. Last time we had won by a margin of 2 lakh 87 thousand. This time the winning figure may also be double. There is no challenge of any kind.
These two leaders are game changers!
Kaushambi Lok Sabha seat of UP was also in the headlines. The reason for this was not the candidate here but Raja Bhaiya who influences this seat. Raja Bhaiya’s supporters were seen pushing for the SP candidate. Jansatta Dal Loktantrik President Raghuraj Pratap Singh Raja Bhaiya said that there is anti-incumbency against sitting MP and BJP candidate Vinod Sonkar. No one has any illusions. People have known our stand.
There is very little discussion about Mayawati in UP politics this time. BSP supremo cast her vote in Lucknow. And the party claimed that the results will be shocking. Meanwhile, after voting, BSP President Mayawati said that I have felt that there is a lot of enthusiasm among the people. There is a lot of enthusiasm among the people of BSP, there is enthusiasm among the people of BSP not only in UP but in other states also.
BSP General Secretary Satish Chandra Mishra said that BSP will surprise everyone by winning more seats than last time. The party is fighting the elections very well. With the fifth phase of voting, voting has ended on 53 seats in UP. Now there are 27 seats left for which voting will take place in the sixth and seventh phases. Now everyone’s eyes are on Mayawati and Raja Bhaiya. While Raja Bhaiya has openly supported SP, Mayawati can spoil the game of SP alliance and BJP on many seats in Purvanchal.
