New Delhi: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by former BJP MLA Baba Gorakhnath challenging the election of Samajwadi Party leader Awadhesh Prasad in the 2022 Milkipur Assembly polls. Reacting to the verdict, Prasad expressed satisfaction and called for timely elections in the constituency.
“When I won as Faizabad MP, the BJP leader should have withdrawn his writ petition. Today, the court has asked him to withdraw his petition,” said Prasad, highlighting the persistence of legal challenges post his election victory.
