Misuse of election machinery: Akhilesh as BJP wins Milkipur bypoll

As BJP won in Milkipur by-poll, Akhilesh Yadav alleged misuse of the election machinery. Such "fraud" is possible in one Assembly seat, but won't be possible across 403 Assembly segments, Yadav added, throwing a challenge to the BJP for the next state polls in 2027. In this by-poll, SP fielded Ajit Prasad, while the BJP fielded Chandrabhanu Paswan.
