Polling in 53 of 80 seats in UP is over and the sixth phase will cover 14 seats of which 13 were swept by BJP in 2014, the lone holdout being Azamgarh where SP’s Mulayam Singh Yadav won. This time around, the SP-BSP gathbandhan will be put to the test while Mulayam’s son and former CM Akhilesh Yadav is in the fray from Azamgarh.
