Hasanpur

Overview & 2022 Context

Hasanpur, Assembly Constituency number 42 in Amroha district, produced a clear mandate in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh polls. MAHENDRA of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished first with 120,135 votes (44.63%), defeating MUKHYA GURJAR (SP), who polled 97,753 (36.32%). The victory margin was 22,382 votes. Of 364,215 electors, 269,157 votes were polled and turnout stood at 73.9%.

The 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election was a bipolar contest between the BJP-led NDA and the Samajwadi Party–led front. Campaign discourse centred on law-and-order and welfare delivery versus unemployment, inflation, farm distress and the stray-cattle problem, as widely reported during the polls; the BJP retained power while the SP improved its seat tally as the principal opposition. In this Legislative Assembly seat, the local verdict hinged on candidate networks and booth-level conversion as much as alliance symbols. Leading contenders by votes included: MAHENDRA (BJP, 120,135 / 44.63%); MUKHYA GURJAR (SP, 97,753 / 36.32%); PHIRERAM (BSP, 36,150 / 13.43%); AHTESHAM RZA HASHMI (AIMIM, 4,972 / 1.85%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between MAHENDRA and MUKHYA GURJAR is the binding fact for seat 42, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 22,382 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Amroha is part of the Rohilkhand belt of north-central Uttar Pradesh. Headquartered at Amroha, the district mixes agrarian plains with trading towns; farm incomes, small industry and communal–caste coalition arithmetic often travel together in election seasons. Administratively, Hasanpur is Assembly Constituency number 42 under Amroha (headquarters: Amroha). Like neighbouring segments, it mixes rural habitations and market nodes where roads, schools, health access and welfare delivery travel with voters as strongly as statewide narratives.

Geography here is not ornamental for election reading. Flood plains, market roads and block headquarters shape who can mobilise, who migrates for work, and which booth clusters decide close Assembly Constituency contests. Hasanpur sits inside that Amroha administrative map even when national television talks only of alliances.

History & Past Election Trends

On the same constituency lineage, recent Legislative Assembly outcomes were — 2012: Kamal Akhtar (SP) by 32,228 votes; 2007: FERHAT HASAN (BSP) by 3,507 votes; 2002: DEVENDRA NAGPAL (IND) by 29,573 votes; 1996: CH. RIFAQAT HUSAIN (SP) by 563 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2022 win for MAHENDRA (BJP) in Legislative Assembly segment number 42 should be read as continuity where the same camp had dominated, or as another swing where the lineage had flipped before — never by treating the serial number alone as eternal identity.

Statistics & Gender-wise Polling Analysis

Electors: 364,215. Votes polled: 269,157. Turnout: 73.9%. Winner MAHENDRA (BJP): 120,135 (44.63%); runner-up MUKHYA GURJAR (SP): 97,753 (36.32%); margin: 22,382 — a clear mandate relative to total votes polled in this Legislative Assembly.

Turnout 73.9% with 269,157 votes from 364,215 electors remains the participation baseline for comparing this seat with neighbouring Legislative Assembly segments in Amroha.

Issues That Drove Voting Behavior

Statewide themes included suraksha/law-and-order messaging, labharthi welfare schemes, Hindutva-plus mobilisation, and opposition focus on jobs, price rise, farm incomes and stray cattle. In Amroha, voters also weighed farm incomes, small-town jobs, communal harmony, rural roads. a clear mandate for MAHENDRA (BJP) against MUKHYA GURJAR (SP) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 42.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Hasanpur is narrower: MAHENDRA (BJP) outpolled MUKHYA GURJAR (SP) by 22,382 votes under 73.9% turnout, and that is the 2022 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 42.

Reading 2022 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Hasanpur. MAHENDRA (BJP) converted 120,135 votes; MUKHYA GURJAR (SP) had 97,753. Turnout 73.9% and margin 22,382 in seat 42 signal organisational reach across polling stations rather than a single-day mood swing alone.

For journalists and researchers, the safer frame is lineage continuity plus the published 2022 table: electors 364,215, votes polled 269,157, and the head-to-head between MAHENDRA and MUKHYA GURJAR. District cues in Amroha still matter — roads, floods, farm prices, migration and welfare delivery — but they must be weighed against what the EVM count actually recorded in this Assembly Constituency / Legislative Assembly seat.
