Highlights of the first phase

If we look at the results of the last three elections, the seats in the first phase not only tell the mood of the voters, but the ladder of power is also decided from here. Due to the dominance of caste equations, most of the equations of state politics are formed from here. This time, a tough fight is being considered between the BJP and the SP-RLD alliance in most of the seats. During the election campaign, the masters of all the parties fiercely fired political arrows at each other and claimed to form their own government.
