Sun Feb 09 08:36:50 UTC 2025: ## BJP Wins Milkipur By-Election by Landslide Victory
**Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh** – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a resounding victory in the Milkipur by-election, with its candidate Chandrabhannu Paswan winning by over 60,000 votes. This marks the BJP’s largest ever victory in Ayodhya’s history. Paswan secured his win after thirty rounds of counting, becoming the 18th representative for the Milkipur Assembly constituency. His nearest rival, Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Ajit Prasad, received approximately 80,000 votes.
The victory is being seen as a significant win for the BJP, particularly given the recent SP’s challenge in the region. Analysts suggest that recent statements by Akhilesh Yadav and other SP leaders may have contributed to the BJP’s success. The BJP’s win is also being interpreted as a reversal of fortunes after a previous defeat in the region eight months prior.
