UP election 2027: RLD's two-thirds target for NDA and the Jayant Chaudhary factor | India TV Exclusive

In Indian politics, Uttar Pradesh assembly elections are often described as a semifinal ahead of Lok Sabha polls. Reason: Uttar Pradesh sends 80 MPs to the Lok Sabha and 31 to the Rajya Sabha and has the largest legislative assembly in India, with 403 members. The stakes, therefore, remain high for both the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Samajwadi Party-Congress combine.
