To curb the spread of Covid-19 and its new variant Omicron, the Election Commission (EC) had banned physical rallies and roadshows in the elections, allowing virtual campaigns and allowing door-to-door contact as the only direct campaign format in the poll-bound state.

The EC is, however, expected to review its order on Monday. Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has already announced her first public rally in Agra on Wednesday.

Uttar Pradesh will go to the polls in seven Phases. The first phase of the election will take place on February 10 and the last will take place on March 7. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
