Bypolls Result 2025: Bharatiya Janata Party's Chandrabhan Paswan secured a landslide victory in Milkipur, in the heart of Ayodhya’s Hindutva stronghold. In Tamil Nadu's Erode East, ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam candidate VC Chandhirakuma is close to attain a massive victory.
The Milkipur seat — part of the politically significant Ayodhya district — turned into a prestige battle between the Samajwadi Party and the BJP. Chandrabhanu Paswan made sure that his party wins the prestige battle. He won with a massive margin of 61710 votes against Smajwadi Party leader Ajit Prasad.
DMK's VC Chandhirakuma is leading in Erode constituency with a massive margin of 85403 votes.
Polling for Milkipur in UP was necessitated after SP leader Awadhesh Prasad vacated the seat on winning the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Faizabad. The BJP sees the bypoll as a chance to avenge this loss and gain fresh ground in the state. It is pertinent to note that Milkipur was the only assembly seat that the BJP lost within Ayodhya district in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls.
