Ayodhya, January 24, 2025: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to address a public rally today in the Milkipur Assembly constituency, aiming to bolster the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) campaign for the upcoming by-polls. The rally is scheduled to take place in the Harringtonganj market, near the Palia intersection in Ayodhya.
The Milkipur by-poll was necessitated after Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Awadhesh Prasad vacated the seat following his election to the Lok Sabha from Faizabad in the 2024 general elections. The by-poll is scheduled for February 5, with votes to be counted on February 8. The SP has fielded Ajit Prasad, son of the former MLA, while the BJP has nominated Chandrabhan Paswan. The Congress, an ally of the SP in the INDIA bloc, has chosen not to field a candidate and has instead announced support for the SP candidate.
