Milkipur Assembly bypoll result: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Chandrabhanu Paswan has emerged victorious in the Milkipur by-election, defeating his nearest rival by a margin of 61,710 votes. Paswan’s decisive win further strengthens the BJP’s hold in Uttar Pradesh, reflecting continued voter confidence in the party’s leadership at both the state and central levels. The by-election in Milkipur had drawn significant political attention, with parties vying for a crucial seat in the region.
The Milkipur Assembly bypoll in Ayodhya district has turned into a prestige battle between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP). While 10 candidates were in the fray, the contest is primarily between BJP’s Chandrabhanu Paswan and SP’s Ajit Prasad.
The bypoll holds significant political weight, especially after SP’s Awadhesh Prasad pulled off a surprising victory over BJP in Faizabad during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This upset came just months after the grand inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, making Milkipur a crucial battleground for both parties.
