Elections for 96 Lok Sabha seats spread across nine states and the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir will be held in the fourth phase on Monday.
Voting will be held simultaneously in all 175 assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh and 28 assembly seats of Odisha.
This phase is crucial for Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. In 2019, his YSR Congress Party had won 22 out of 25 Lok Sabha seats and registered a thumping victory in the assembly elections. TDP-led NDA is posing a serious challenge to Reddy's popularity this time. It is contesting polls in alliance with BJP and Jana Sena Party. Congress is led by Reddy's sister YS Sharmila.
This phase will also test chief minister Revanth Reddy's popularity in Telangana as polling will take place for all 17 Lok Sabha seats. The polls are a survival battle for BRS, which has just been defeated in the assembly polls.
