Ayodhya's first MLA B Kishore was from Bharatiya Jan Sangh
After Ayodhya became a constituency, it elected B Kishore of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh as its first MLA in the 1967 UP Assembly elections. BJS was then the political arm of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and a precursor to the BJP. In the fifty years since, BJS, Janata Party, and BJP combined have won nine times and the Congress thrice.
