Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Milkipur 10 times over the past few months and deployed 16 ministers but failed to influence voters who support the SP.
Refuting the SP's allegations, SSP Nayyar said the picture in question shows police personnel verifying the credentials of a polling agent and asserted that law enforcement officers are not checking voters' identification documents. According to Election Commission data, 13.34 per cent voters cast their votes in the Milkipur by poll till 9 am.
Though there are 10 candidates in the fray, the main contest is between SP's Ajit Prasad and the BJP's Chandrabhanu Paswan . The bypoll was necessitated as SP's Awadhesh Prasad vacated the Milkipur seat after winning the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Even as the SP is looking to retain the seat, the BJP sees the election as an opportunity to avenge its loss in Faizabad.
In the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Milkipur was the only assembly seat the BJP lost in Ayodhya district. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
