LS elections: India gears up for 5th phase; Rajnath, Sonia, Rahul in fray

Nearly nine crore voters will decide the fate of 674 candidates, including political bigwigs such as Rajnath Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Smriti Irani, in the fifth phase of polling on Monday in 51 constituencies in seven states. The stakes are high for the ruling BJP and its allies as it had swept 40 of these seats in 2014.
