Anupshahr

Overview & 2022 Context

Anupshahr, Legislative Assembly seat number 67 in Bulandshahr district, produced a landslide verdict in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh polls. Sanjay Kumar Sharma of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished first with 125,602 votes (52.49%), defeating Rameshvar (BSP), who polled 47,979 (20.05%). The victory margin was 77,623 votes. Of 379,496 electors, 239,297 votes were polled and turnout stood at 63.06%.

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 Assembly Constituency, the local verdict hinged on candidate networks and booth-level conversion as much as alliance symbols. Leading contenders by votes included: Sanjay Kumar Sharma (BJP, 125,602 / 52.49%); Rameshvar (BSP, 47,979 / 20.05%); K.K. Sharma (NCP, 44,180 / 18.46%); Gajendra Singh (INC, 13,321 / 5.57%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between Sanjay Kumar Sharma and Rameshvar is the binding fact for seat 67, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 77,623 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Bulandshahr lies in western Uttar Pradesh, linking the Upper Doab and Yamuna–Ganga plain economies. District headquarters at Bulandshahr anchors administration; sugarcane, wheat and peri-urban markets shape livelihoods alongside highway and rail corridors toward Delhi NCR. Administratively, Anupshahr is Legislative Assembly segment number 67 under Bulandshahr (headquarters: Bulandshahr). 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. Anupshahr sits inside that Bulandshahr 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: GAJENDRA SINGH (BSP) by 3,501 votes; 2007: GAJENDRA SINGH (BSP) by 10,465 votes; 2002: HOSHIYAR SINGH (IND) by 993 votes; 1996: SATISH SHARMA (INC) by 12,828 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2022 win for Sanjay Kumar Sharma (BJP) in Legislative Assembly number 67 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: 379,496. Votes polled: 239,297. Turnout: 63.06%. Winner Sanjay Kumar Sharma (BJP): 125,602 (52.49%); runner-up Rameshvar (BSP): 47,979 (20.05%); margin: 77,623 — a landslide verdict relative to total votes polled in this Assembly Constituency.

Turnout 63.06% with 239,297 votes from 379,496 electors remains the participation baseline for comparing this seat with neighbouring Legislative Assembly segments in Bulandshahr.

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 Bulandshahr, voters also weighed sugarcane prices, NCR connectivity, rural roads, urban services. a landslide verdict for Sanjay Kumar Sharma (BJP) against Rameshvar (BSP) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 67.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Anupshahr is narrower: Sanjay Kumar Sharma (BJP) outpolled Rameshvar (BSP) by 77,623 votes under 63.06% turnout, and that is the 2022 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 67.

Reading 2022 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Anupshahr. Sanjay Kumar Sharma (BJP) converted 125,602 votes; Rameshvar (BSP) had 47,979. Turnout 63.06% and margin 77,623 in seat 67 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 379,496, votes polled 239,297, and the head-to-head between Sanjay Kumar Sharma and Rameshvar. District cues in Bulandshahr 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.
