The Milkipur seat saw an intense battle between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP). The bypoll was necessitated after SP MLA Awadhesh Prasad was elected as an MP from Faizabad (Ayodhya) in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
In what is being called a prestige battle, the SP fielded Ajeet Prasad against BJP’s Chandrabhan Paswan, Azad Samaj Party’s Santosh Kumar Chaudhary and Congress rebel Bholanath Bharati.
The announcement of the bye-election was delayed after a writ petition was filed by BJP’s Baba Gorakhnath, who contested the 2022 election from the seat. He challenged Prasad’s victory, questioning the authenticity of his nomination documents. After Gorakhnath withdrew his petition, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the bypoll date as February 5.
Milkipur’s electorate comprises approximately 3.5 lakh voters, including over one lakh Dalits, 80,000 Yadavs and Muslims, and around one lakh Brahmins and Thakurs.
Puling out all stops for the BJP in Milkipur, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Milkipur six times in the past six months. BJP’s campaign machinery has been in overdrive, deploying six senior ministers, including Swatantra Dev Singh, Surya Pratap Shahi, JPS Rathore, and Girish Yadav, alongside 40+ MLAs to spearhead a booth-level strategy.
Meanwhile, SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav, along with Dimple Yadav, led the campaign with roadshows and rallies, ensuring that backward classes, Dalits, and Muslims remained firmly aligned with the party.
