Bilari

Overview & 2022 Context

Bilari, Assembly Constituency number 30 in Moradabad district, produced a comfortable but contested win in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh polls. MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN of Samajwadi Party (SP) finished first with 95,338 votes (39.89%), defeating PARMESHWAR LAL (BJP), who polled 87,728 (36.7%). The victory margin was 7,610 votes. Of 359,209 electors, 239,031 votes were polled and turnout stood at 66.54%.

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: MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN (SP, 95,338 / 39.89%); PARMESHWAR LAL (BJP, 87,728 / 36.7%); ANIL KUMAR (BSP, 42,411 / 17.74%); KHALID ZAMAN (AIMIM, 9,235 / 3.86%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN and PARMESHWAR LAL is the binding fact for seat 30, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 7,610 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Moradabad is part of the Rohilkhand belt of north-central Uttar Pradesh. Headquartered at Moradabad, the district mixes agrarian plains with trading towns; farm incomes, small industry and communal–caste coalition arithmetic often travel together in election seasons. Administratively, Bilari is Legislative Assembly seat number 30 under Moradabad (headquarters: Moradabad). 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. Bilari sits inside that Moradabad 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: MHD.IRFAN (SP) by 1,540 votes; 1962: HET RAM (PSP) by 1,874 votes; 1957: JAGDISH NARAIN (INC) by 5,160 votes; 1951: MEHI LAL (INC) by 19,435 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2022 win for MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN (SP) in Assembly Constituency number 30 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.

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 Moradabad, voters also weighed farm incomes, small-town jobs, communal harmony, rural roads. a comfortable but contested win for MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN (SP) against PARMESHWAR LAL (BJP) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 30.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Bilari is narrower: MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN (SP) outpolled PARMESHWAR LAL (BJP) by 7,610 votes under 66.54% turnout, and that is the 2022 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 30.

Reading 2022 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Bilari. MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN (SP) converted 95,338 votes; PARMESHWAR LAL (BJP) had 87,728. Turnout 66.54% and margin 7,610 in seat 30 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 359,209, votes polled 239,031, and the head-to-head between MOHAMMAD FAHEEM IRFAN and PARMESHWAR LAL. District cues in Moradabad 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.
