New Delhi: Fifty-one constituencies, spread over seven states, will go to polls in the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections on May 6. The focus will be on Congress as most of its veterans are in the fray and their positions are at stake.

1.Amethi

The biggest battle will be Amethi as Congress president Rahul Gandhi will go head to head against BJP leader Smriti Irani.

Amethi, considered a stronghold for the Gandhi family, now is teeming with BJP workers as Irani is working towards making her presence felt. After losing by a small margin in 2014, BJP is looking forward to dislodge Rahul from his family bastion.
