Not long ago, Etawah constituency, the hometown of Samajwadi Party patriarch and former chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, was considered the focal point of Uttar Pradesh politics. A veteran SP leader who didn’t wish to be named said, “There is a close fight on Etawah Sadar and Bhartana assembly seat between the SP and BJP. On the other hand, Mulayam Singh Yadav’s younger brother and Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party Lohia chief Shivpal Singh Yadav had defeated the BJP candidate by a huge margin in the Jaswant Nagar seat, which is considered the strongest seat of the SP.

In the 2012 assembly elections, the seat came back to the SP, in 2017, the seat went to the BJP as Sarita Bhadauria defeated SP candidate Kuldeep Gupta by 17,342 votes.
