Also, Union ministers Rajnath Singh and Smriti Irani filed nominations from the Uttar Pradesh seats of Lucknow and Amethi, respectively, from where they are sitting MPs as well.
The second phase of voting for 88 parliamentary constituencies spread over 13 states and Union Territories (UTs) recorded a voter turnout of around 63.50%, according to the Election Commission of India (ECI). The first phase of polling took place on April 19 in 102 seats across 21 states and Union territories.
All eyes are on two major political alliances: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP-led ruling NDA, and the Congress-led opposition INDIA bloc.

Phase 1- April 19 (polling completed)
Phase 2- April 26 (polling completed)
Phase 3- May 7
Phase 4 - May 13
Phase 5 - May 20
Phase 6 - May 25
Phase 7 - June 1
The Lok Sabha election's votes will be counted, and the results will be declared on June 4.
