The poll body has announced bypolls for nine of the 10 vacant assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, except Milkipur of Ayodhya district.
The Election Commission has kept the polling for Milkipur seat in Ayodhya in abeyance due to pending of an election petition, Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad said on Wednesday that the seat has become very important as it is connected to Akhilesh Yadav and Ayodhya.
Prasad told ANI that when he resigned from the seat after becoming the MP, it was the moral duty of the BJP member to take back his writ.
