Uttar Pradesh to witness direct contest between BJP-I.N.D.I.A. bloc

UP, 17/4:Uttar Pradesh, with 80 Lok Sabha seats, appears to be set for a direct contest between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP)-Congress, which are part of the opposition I.N.D.I.A. bloc with the BSP expected to make it a triangular fight only in pockets.

While the BJP’s hopes to fulfill its dreams of crossing the 400 plus tally this time hinges mainly on UP, the SP-Congress alliance too will go all out to reduce the saffron party’s tally in the state to prevent it from returning to power for the third time
