5 Down, 2 Phases Left In 2024 Lok Sabha Election. Focus Today On Delhi
NDTV
The sixth and penultimate phase of polling for the 2024 Lok Sabha election begins this morning with voting in 58 seats across six states and two union territories, including Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag, which was supposed to vote in the third phase but will do so today after adverse weather conditions on May 7. The seat has flipped between Farooq and Omar Abdullah's National Conference and Mehbooba Mufti's PDP over the last five elections.
The focus, though, will be on the national capital, where the BJP faces an INDIA bloc challenge - the AAP and Congress have united to stop the former from claiming a hat-trick of clean sweeps. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party won all seven in 2014 and 2019.
The AAP contests four seats - New Delhi, East Delhi, South Delhi, and West Delhi. The Congress has fielded candidates in three - Chandni Chowk, North-East, and North-West.
