New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh will on Tuesday witness voting in ten Lok seats - Moradabad, Rampur, Sambhal, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Etah, Budaun, Aonla, Bareilly and Pilibhit - in the third phase of the general election. A total of 81 candidates are in the fray and the votes will be cast at 9076 polling stations.

The BJP, which had won seven out of the ten seats in this region in 2014, has a huge stake in this phase in Uttar Pradesh as the area is considered a Samajwadi Party stronghold as three of the total five members of the Yadav family had won from this region despite a Modi wave in the last elections.

The three Yadav family members who are seeking re-election respectively from Mainpuri, Badaun and Firozabad in this phase are Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav and his two nephews, Dharmendra Yadav and Akshay Yadav.

In 2014, Mulayam Singh had won both the Mainpuri and Azamgarh seats but had vacated the first one, which was won by his another family member Tej Pratap Singh in the subsequent by-election. 

The other political heavyweights, whose fate are in the poll balance in the third phase of elections here, include Union minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar, who is fighting from Bareilly and BJP's Varun Gandhi from Pilibhit. With a large area of the Rohilkhand region considered a stronghold of Samajwadi Party, the state's trilateral alliance of the SP, BSP and RLD have left no stone unturned in campaigning in this region.
