The opening round of the poll was marred by attacked by Maoist guerillas that killed 17.

Varun Gandhi was released from jail.

Coverage of the Supreme Court decision releasing Varun Gandhi from jail.

Here's a general round-up from the BBC.

...a profile of Mayawati, head of the BSP (a caste-based party) and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, who has real ambitions to be Prime Minister. Whether she'll do it this time is an open question- though estimates have her BSP doubling their seat tallies in the Lok Sabha this election, but either way, she's going to be a factor in these elections.
