In the 2024 elections, he is up against Congress’s Uttar Pradesh President Ajai Rai and Athar Jamal Lari from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

PM Modi won the seat by a massive margin of 479,505 votes in the Lok Sabha elections 2019, defeating Shalini Yadav of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Ajai Rai, who came third.
