I have seen two people. One was wearing a red hoodie while the other was wearing a white jacket. The tyre of my car got punctured and after 2-3 km, I changed the car."
The Uttar Pradesh assembly election for the 403 assembly seats would be held in seven phases from February 10 to March 7. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
