Ayodhya. SP workers and supporters, excited by the victory after 26 years on the prestigious seat, celebrated all night long. Supporters and leaders kept flocking to the newly elected MP Awadhesh Prasad’s residence in Sahadatganj and the SP party office. This trend continued on Wednesday as well.
In the 1998 elections, Mitrasen Yadav, who contested from SP, opened SP’s account for the first time on Faizabad Lok Sabha seat. After this, SP could not make a comeback in any election. SP kept contesting elections with full vigor, but every time it had to face defeat and the dream of SP workers to make an MP from this seat again remained unfulfilled. After almost 26 years, on Tuesday, when Awadhesh Prasad fulfilled this dream, the enthusiasm of SP supporters and workers reached its peak.
This enthusiasm was visible everywhere, from the city’s GIC to Awadhesh Prasad’s residence in Sahadatganj and the SP office in Gulabbari. SP members celebrated this happiness in their own style. After Awadhesh Prasad reached the central office in Sahadatganj, a crowd of supporters and party leaders gathered. The round of welcoming and congratulating him continued till late night.
On Wednesday morning, he was again surrounded by supporters. All the leaders and officials of the district were also seen clicking photos and taking selfies to increase their numbers. At times, there was even a scuffle with the security personnel. There was even pushing and shoving among themselves to get a photo clicked. This situation continued till noon. When he left for Lucknow, the supporters also left from there.
