“The truth is that the BJP would have lost even more seats in Uttar Pradesh. I thank the people of Ayodhya. You would have seen the pain of Ayodhya from time to time. They were not given adequate compensation for their land, injustice was done to them, their land was not acquired at par with the market price, you snatched their land forcibly by slapping false cases against them…you destroyed the poor for a sacred thing. That is why, I think people of Ayodhya and neighbouring areas voted against the BJP,” he added.
In the meantime, Awadhesh Prasad Singh, the newly elected Samajwadi Party MP, said the BJP was defeated because it ruined the respectability that was Lord Ram.
“Bharatiya Janata Party did politics in the name of Ayodhya. BJP has destroyed the dignity of ‘Maryada Purshottam Ram’. There is inflation, there are no jobs in their (BJP’s) rule. They have disrespected our jawans, farmers,” He declared to PTI.
Awadhesh Prasad defeated the party’s two-time member Lallu Singh by a handsome margin of 54,567 votes.
It is believed that the Samajwadi Party emerged as the most popular group in Uttar Pradesh, which was thought to be the home of the BJP prior to the general election results were announced. The BJP has won sweeping victories in the state between 2014 and 2019 could be able to win only 33 of 80 seats.
As of now, Akhilesh Yadav’s uncle Shivpal Yadav claimed that the Ram temple polls did not work to benefit the BJP.
“If elections are held in Uttar Pradesh today, a government under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav will be formed… The people have chosen the biggest devotee of Lord Ram with a record number of votes,” Akhilesh Yadav said.
