New Delhi 5th February, BJP’s humiliating loss in Faizabad last year was a wake-up bell.
Now, all eyes are on Milkipur by-elections. This small assembly seat now has outsized political stakes given that it’s located within the Faizabad constituency.
Will the SP hold its ground, or is the BJP desperate for a comeback? While CM Yogi is leading an do or die campaign, Samajwadi Party is banking on the combination of dynasty and caste politics by fielding Awadhesh Prasad’s son Ajit Prasad.
This by-poll is more than just a contest as the results could set the tone for the 2027 UP battle.
