The EVMs will unseal the fate of 637 candidates bearing allegiance to different political parties and independents.
Considering the large number of Congress turncoats trying their luck this time as BJP candidates it will be interesting to watch out for what happens in about a dozen seats from where they are in the fray.
Narendranagar, Roorkee, Khanpur, Bajpur, Kedarnath, Sitarganj, Kotdwar are some of the high profile seats from where Congress turncoats or their protgs are in the fray.
Chief Minister Harish Rawat is trying his luck from two seats of Kichcha in Udhamsingh Nagar district and Haridwar (rural) in Haridwar district.
