The forthcoming 2024 Lok Sabha Elections in the Ayodhya constituency of Uttar Pradesh, one among the state’s 80 constituencies, are highly awaited following the construction of the Ram Temple in the state. Uttar Pradesh, being the most populous state in India, holds the highest number of Lok Sabha seats, which is 80.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has exhibited a strong majority in UP in the previous two Lok Sabha elections, securing the majority of seats. In the upcoming polls, the BJP has once again nominated incumbent MP Lallu Singh from Ayodhya.

Regarding the preparations for the Lok Sabha elections, Lallu Singh stated, “The planning and preparations for the Lok Sabha polls with the party workers are underway. We are making strategies with the booth workers. Under the vision and leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the NDA is surely going to win more than 400 seats in the general elections. Ayodhya is one of the most beautiful places in the country.”

The Ayodhya Lok Sabha constituency comprises five Vidhan Sabhas (legislative assemblies): Ayodhya, Bikapur, Milkipur, Rudauli, and Dariyabad (Barabanki).

“In Ayodhya, under the leadership of PM Modi, it is establishing its place. The connectivity of railways, roads, and airports has been made at a fast pace. The Ayodhya is developing. I am confident that in the name of PM Modi and what we have worked on for the past 10 years we will win,” he added.

In the 2019 elections, BJP leader Lallu Singh retained his victory by defeating Samajwadi Party leader Anand Sen Yadav. Voting for the 80 constituencies in Uttar Pradesh will occur in seven stages, from April 19 to June 1, with the electoral exercise in Ayodhya scheduled for May 20.

The UP government changed the name of Faizabad district to Ayodhya in November 2018. In the 2019 elections, despite the SP-BSP ‘mahagatbandhan’, the BJP and its ally Apna Dal(S) won 64 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats, while the alliance partners, Akhilesh Yadav’s and Mayawati’s parties, won 15 seats.

The ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya’s historic temple was conducted on January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing the Vedic rituals.

India’s political landscape is undergoing a significant transition as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approach. The INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) consortium is gearing up to challenge the established National Democratic Alliance. The elections for 543 Lok Sabha seats will be held from April 19 to June 1, with the counting of votes scheduled for June 4.
