Caste dynamics, not Ram ka naam, at work

However, the electoral dynamics in this Lok Sabha constituency extends beyond temple politics, and is deeply entwined with intricate caste equations.

This high-profile seat, still known by its old name of Faizabad, presents an intriguing contest among BJP's Thakur candidate Lallu Singh, SP's (INDIA bloc) Dalit candidate and sitting MLA Awadhesh Prasad, and BSP's Brahmin candidate Sachhidanand Pandey. Pandey switched from the BJP to the BSP before the elections to capitalize on the Brahmin vote bank.

"Ayodhya is synonymous with Lord Ram. But when it comes to elections, Ram 'naam' is not enough. The 'jaati' of the candidates also matters," said Rajesh N. Bajpyee, a political analyst. He pointed out that despite Ayodhya's association with the BJP due to its long-standing advocacy of Ram Temple, the electoral reality is more complex.
