In a stunning political comeback, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have roared back in the Milkipur Assembly by-election, securing a landslide victory. This win is not just about numbers—it is sweet revenge for the BJP after facing a humiliating defeat in the Faizabad district during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where the Samajwadi Party (SP) had trounced them.
BJP’s Chandrabhanu Paswan defeated Samajwadi Party’s Ajit Prasad by a massive margin of 61,710 votes—a result that has sent shockwaves through Uttar Pradesh politics.
- Chandrabhanu Paswan (BJP) – 1,46,397 votes
- Ajit Prasad (SP) – 84,687 votes
This is the largest-ever victory margin recorded in Milkipur, making Paswan’s triumph historic.
Milkipur had been a tough battleground for BJP, having lost the seat in previous elections. But after eight long years, the party has successfully snatched it back from its rivals. The result is being seen as a momentum booster for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, especially with upcoming elections on the horizon.
What This Win Means for BJP:
- Strategic Comeback: After losing Faizabad in 2024, BJP has regained political ground in the region.
- SP’s Major Setback: The defeat shows that SP’s influence in the area is weakening.
- 2027 Assembly Elections Impact: This victory could set the stage for BJP’s campaign in the next state elections.
With this thumping victory, BJP has delivered a strong political statement ahead of future electoral battles in Uttar Pradesh.
