Samajwadi Party faces the challenge of repeating the success they got in the Milkipur assembly seat in Ayodhya during the assembly and Lok Sabha elections. With its national general secretary and Ayodhya MP Awadhesh Prasad ,after being elected as their MP, Samajwadi Party no longer has even a single MLA from the district.
