GHAZIPUR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday cast vote at a polling booth in Mohanpura village of Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh urging voters to participate in the democratic process.
“This is a festival of democracy, and I appeal to all the voters for maximum participation in voting,” Sinha said after casting his vote in the seventh and final Phase of the Lok Sabha election 2024.
Uttar Pradesh voted in all seven phases of the Lok Sabha polls.
The Congress is fighting the polls in partnership with the Samajwadi Party in the state and has a seat-sharing agreement with each other.
In the 2019 general elections, the BJP emerged triumphant, securing 62 out of 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh, supplemented by two seats clinched by its ally Apna Dal (S). Mayawati’s BSP managed to secure 10 seats, while Akhilesh Yadav’s SP garnered five. Conversely, the Congress party secured only one seat.
