What was really surprising in the Lok Sabha Elections Results 2024 was BJP's defeat in the constituency of Ayodhya.

The consecration of Ram Mandir, seemed like was a plan to garner votes in the name of Hindutva across the country.

But BJP's experiment did not work in Ayodhya. Why and how did the BJP lose in Faizabad? Whereas the consecration of Ram Mandir was done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. RSS and BJP together made lakhs of people visit the temple.

From where Ram Lalla's temple is located, a wind of changing the constitution started blowing. This wind later turned into a storm. Many big faces of the BJP were swept away in the elections. This time a slogan was very popular in Ayodhya. Neither Ayodhya nor Kashi, this time Awadhesh Pasi.

Samajwadi Party's Awadhesh Prasad belongs to the Pasi caste among Dalits. His supporters kept raising this slogan throughout the election. BJP's temple glory and brand Modi's magic did not work in front of this slogan.

BJP's experiment did not work only in Ayodhya. Ayodhya is a part of Faizabad Lok Sabha seat in UP. There is also an assembly seat named Ayodhya.

This temple came at a heavy price for Ayodhya residents, especially those who live around the temple.

Last time there was an alliance between the Samajwadi Party and BSP. Despite this, BJP candidate Lallu Singh won by 65 thousand votes. This time he lost to the Samajwadi Party by 54 thousand votes. BJP's defeat in Faizabad is the biggest. Ram temple has been an issue for the BJP for the last several decades. It has been mentioned in every election manifesto of the party. But when Ram temple was built, the party lost.

Faizabad is home to a large section of Dalits – relegated to the bottom rung of the Indian caste hierarchy. It's demographic, with its prominent minority population, also took speeches targeting Muslims by Modi as a direct threat to India’s secular and pluralistic democracy. A direct call to change India’s constitution was made by Mr Yadav in a pre-poll campaign speech.
