Caste was not prominent, according to Awadhesh Prasad, a Dalit politician who emerged victorious in the general election in Faizabad. People did not like Lallu Singh's statement that the BJP needed 400 seats to amend the Constitution.One of the highlights of the Samajwadi Party's (SP) triumph in the Uttar Pradesh Lok Sabha elections over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was its win in the Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency, which includes Ayodhya. Two-time MP Lallu Singh was beaten by experienced MLA Awadhesh Prasad, a member of the SP's founding party, with a margin of 54,567 votes.
