Why Was Milkipur Bypoll Necessitated?

The Milkipur bypoll was necessitated after local MLA Awadhesh Prasad vacated the seat following his Faizabad win in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

The SP fielded his son Ajit Prasad in the bypoll even as BJP opted for a party cadre Paswan, both from the Pasi community.

While the SP was eager to retain the seat it won in the 2022 UP polls, the BJP was determined to avenge its Faizabad loss, which occurred just five months after the high-profile consecration of the Ram temple at Ayodhya.
