Mirzapur stands as a distinctive parliamentary constituency in Uttar Pradesh, maintaining a perennial presence in the news headlines. Positioned in the northern expanse of the state, it spans across the Sant Ravidas Nagar-Varanasi region, adding to its geographical and cultural significance.
Its boundaries extend towards Chandauli in the east, Sonbhadra in the south, and Prayagraj in the northwest, creating a diverse and vibrant constituency. Presently, the Sone Lal party is represented by Anupriya Patel, adding a dynamic dimension to the political landscape of Mirzapur.
Dasayu Sundari Phoolan Devi played a pivotal role in shaping the political trajectory of Mirzapur. Phoolan Devi, representing the Samajwadi Party, served as a Member of Parliament from this constituency twice.
Delving into the parliamentary history of Mirzapur, which commenced in 1957, the region has witnessed 18 Lok Sabha elections since then.
Mirzapur, as a parliamentary constituency, holds considerable significance in terms of tourism. Every year, thousands of visitors are drawn to the region due to its natural beauty and religious ambiance. In addition to the renowned Vindhyachal Dham, the area boasts attractions such as Sita Kund, Lal Bhairav Temple, Chunar Fort, and Tanda Waterfall.
This Lok Sabha constituency comprises five legislative assembly seats. Mirzapur has around 20 lakh voters, and during elections, promises of development are made, but voting patterns often sway towards caste equations. In this Lok Sabha seat, Kurmi voters are the most numerous, and the candidate who secures their votes tends to become the Member of Parliament. Development is more visible in urban areas than in rural regions.
