The highest number of seats are from Uttar Pradesh, which sees polling for 14 seats, including key battlegrounds of Lucknow, Amethi, Raebareli, etc. In addition, there are also 12 seats from Rajasthan, seven each from West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh, five from Bihar, four from Jharkhand and two from Jammu and Kashmir. All eyes, however, will be on Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli and Amethi seats, where the mother-son duo of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi will fight to retain the Congress's pocket boroughs. Of them, SP will fight seven and BSP from five. Almost all seven seats will see four-pronged contests, with TMC, Congress, CPM and BJP all fielding candidates.
