Recording a 40 per cent voter turn out till 1300 hrs, eight Lok Sabha constituencies of Western Uttar Pradesh are witnessing brisk polling activity, reports Business Standard.
Braving intense heat of the high summer, voters turned out in large numbers. The polling process, so far, has gone well and smooth without any uneventful activity, said an official of the state election department.
Three Union ministers -- V K Singh(Ghaziabad), Satyapal Singh (Baghpat) and Mahesh Sharma (Gautam Budha Nagar) are among the high profile candidates in the fray.
The first phase of the Lok Sabha elections is happening across 91 constituencies spread over 20 States and Union Territories.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
