It has been voting for the Samajwadi Party candidate in every election since 1993, except in 2002, when BJP had got hold of the seat. But the very next elections, in 2007, the district once again returned to the family and it is not held by Sobaran Yadav.

What makes it even more important is the fact that it is involved in making up the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat along with the other four assembly seats. This is the same seat that was responsible for making the Samajwadi Party founder, Mulayam Singh Yadav, get elected for the Lok Sabha five times.

The district is merely five kilometers away from Saifai, which is the Yadav family’s home village. It was a surprise for many despite heavy speculation as in November last year, the party head stated that he will not be contesting the elections.
