“The country’s 130 crore people, and especially the crores of educated youth and unemployed, do not want a BJP government that forces them to sell pakodas and tea and become a security guard rather than giving them jobs and deploys harmful anti-people policies,” she wrote.

Polling is being held in 117 parliamentary constituencies in 15 states and Union Territories on Tuesday in the biggest of the seven-phase Lok Sabha election 2019. In 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished ahead of the Congress in the seats which went to polls in the first and second phase, but was behind non-Congress, non-BJP parties.
Voting will take place for all the 26 constituencies in Gujarat, all the 20 seats in Kerala, 14 each in Maharashtra and Karnataka, ten in Uttar Pradesh, seven in Chhattisgarh, six in Odisha, five each in Bihar and West Bengal, four in Assam, two in Goa, one each in Jammu and Kashmir, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu and Tripura.
Mayawati’s BSP has formed an alliance with Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party and Ajit Singh’s Rashtriya Lok Dal, to challenge the BJP, which won 71 out of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh in 2014.
The fourth phase will see voting in 71 constituencies, the fifth phase in 51, the sixth in 59 and the seventh phase in 59. Counting of votes will be held on May 23.
