In Uttar Pradesh, 41 seats will vote in the remaining three phases including hot seats like Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Ballia, and Ghazipur. BJP did extremely well in the last two elections, winning most these seats. In West Bengal, polling will take place for 24 seats out of total 42 seats in the remaining phases. BJP and Trinamool Congress are locked in a high-stake battle in the state where the former has deployed several union ministers to oversee election campaigning. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee is leading the campaign for Trinamool.
