LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath is leading from the front as the Bharatiya Janata Party aims to wrest the Milkipur assembly seat from the Samajwadi Party and avenge the shock defeat in the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat in June 2024.
Along with the chief minister, senior BJP leaders have hit the ground running in the reserved assembly constituency located in Ayodhya district. The by-election date is expected to be announced soon. Adityanath, whose latest visit to Milkipur was on January 4, looked to boost the morale of party workers as he said: "If Kundarki could be won, Milkipur can also be wrested. Despite 65% Muslim population in Kundarki, the BJP won the by-election with record votes in the name of development."
