To avenge Ayodhya defeat, BJP turns Milkipur by-poll into prestige battle with Samajwadi

.

Months after the BJP's defeat to the Samajwadi Party in Faizabad Lok Sabha seat, where Ayodhya's Ram Temple was inaugurated, the saffron party has turned the Milkipur bypoll, an assembly segment of the constituency, into a high-stakes prestige battle.

The results are set to be announced today (Feb 8). Earlier, the BJP deployed several ministers and MLAs to hold rallies, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself campaigned there multiple times.

The BJP has called on the voters to "avenge their defeat of Ayodhya" (Faizabad Lok Sabha seat).
