The Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday (October 8, 2026) in Ayodhya challenged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to contest from Ayodhya in the upcoming Assembly polls, adding that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is nervous.
“If the Chief Minister who makes big claims is so confident then he should contest the election from Ayodhya himself,” said Mr. Yadav, who attended the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha held at the ancestral home of Samajwadi Party leader and former Minister Tej Narayan Pandey alias Pawan Pandey in Ayodhya. The Samajwadi Party (SP) won the Faizabad (Ayodhya) Lok Sabha seat in 2024 parliamentary elections with its candidate Awadhesh Prasad defeating the BJP nominee Lallu Singh by over 54,000 votes.
Promising to accelerate the growth of Ayodhya, the SP leader alleged rampant demolition under BJP’s watch in the name of development. “In future, ₹40,000 will be given to our mothers and sisters every year by the SP government. If there is a Samajwadi government in the future, neither will you be discriminated against nor will your shop or house be demolished. In the future, when the Samajwadi government is formed, we will work to accelerate development so that Ayodhya gets recognition at the international level. Ego, power, discrimination, caste, high-low, untouchability are before us today. For us, the one who is Lord Shri Ram is the same as Lord Shri Krishna and the one who is Shri Krishna is the same as Shri Ram. ” added Mr. Yadav.
