Now when NDA alliance leader Narendra Modi is going to take oath as Prime Minister for the third time on Sunday, it is certain that this time no MP from Ayodhya division will be in the cabinet of the central government. The reason is also special, BJP candidates have lost all the five seats of Ayodhya which is included in the VIP division.
At the same time, after the victory in 2024, the politically weak opposition parties are once again preparing a strategy to come into form. If we talk about 2019, then BJP had won Amethi, Sultanpur, Ayodhya, Barabanki seats of Ayodhya division. BSP’s Ritesh Pandey had won from one Ambedkar Nagar seat.
In such a situation, Smriti Zubin Irani, who defeated Congress’ Rahul Gandhi by 55 thousand 120 votes from Amethi, which is counted among the VIP seats, was made the Minister of Women and Child Development Department in the Central Government in the year 2019. Even before this, Smriti Zubin Irani was made a minister by the Central Government even after losing the election to Rahul Gandhi in the year 2014. At that time, Maneka Gandhi, who was the Sultanpur MP, was also a minister in the government.
This time the political scenario has changed. BJP has lost all the five seats of Ayodhya division. This time in the division, SP’s Avdhesh Prasad from Ayodhya, SP’s Ram Bhual Nishad from Sultanpur and SP’s Lalji Verma from Ambedkar Nagar have won.
