SP leader Awadhesh Prasad, who won the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat, stated that he was fielded from the seat by party chief Akhilesh Yadav as he wanted to "honour him in a big way". "Three-four months ago, I told Akhilesh that I couldn't make Netaji (Mulayam Singh) the PM. But I will make you the PM," Prasad stated.
