Varanasi (UP), Sep 15 (PTI) Samajwadi Party MP from Faizabad, Awadhesh Prasad, on Monday accused the BJP government of making his son lose the Milkipur assembly bye-election "by robbing votes".
The Milkipur assembly seat in Ayodhya fell vacant after Awadhesh Prasad resigned as he was elected a Lok Sabha MP earlier this year. In the ensuing bye-election, BJP's Chandrabhanu Paswan defeated Samajwadi Party candidate Ajit Prasad, who is the son of Awadhesh Prasad, by a margin of 61,710 votes.
