Patna Sahib: Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha will be seen contesting against union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad from here. Sinha had won this seat for the BJP in both 2009 and 2014. Sinha left the BJP after years of uneasy relationship with the party high command. In this election he is contesting on a Congress ticket. In 2014, Sinha had won with a margin of over 2.6 lakh votes.

Chandigarh: BJP's Kirron Kher is seeking her re-election from this seat. In the 2014 general election, Kher defeated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Gul Panag and Congress candidate Pawan Kumar Bansal. Bansal has represented this seat from 1999 to 2014. This time again Chandigarh will witness a triangular contest among Bansal from Coongress, Kher from BJP and Harmohan Dhawan from AAP.

Gurdaspur: From the Gurdaspur seat, debutante Sunny Deol will take on Congress' Sunil Jakhar. Veteran actor Vinod Khanna had won this seat for the BJP in 2014. However, it was clinched by Congress' Sunil Jakhar in the by-election triggered by Khanna's demise in 2017
