Bisauli (SC)

Overview & 2022 Context

Bisauli, Assembly Constituency number 112 in Budaun district, produced a photo-finish in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh polls. ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU of Samajwadi Party (SP) finished first with 110,569 votes (44.21%), defeating KUSHAGRA SAGAR (BJP), who polled 108,735 (43.47%). The victory margin was 1,834 votes. Of 421,258 electors, 250,126 votes were polled and turnout stood at 59.38%.

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: ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU (SP, 110,569 / 44.21%); KUSHAGRA SAGAR (BJP, 108,735 / 43.47%); JAYPAL SINGH (BSP, 23,454 / 9.38%); REKHA CHANDRA (JANADIP, 2,072 / 0.83%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU and KUSHAGRA SAGAR is the binding fact for seat 112, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 1,834 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Budaun is part of the Rohilkhand belt of north-central Uttar Pradesh. Headquartered at Budaun, the district mixes agrarian plains with trading towns; farm incomes, small industry and communal–caste coalition arithmetic often travel together in election seasons. Administratively, Bisauli is Assembly Constituency number 112 under Budaun (headquarters: Budaun). 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. Bisauli sits inside that Budaun 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: ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF (SP) by 42,990 votes; 2007: UMLESH YADAV (RPD) by 13,308 votes; 2002: YOGENDRA KUMAR (SP) by 2,251 votes; 1996: YOGENDRA KUMAR (SP) by 23,775 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2022 win for ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU (SP) in Legislative Assembly segment number 112 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 Budaun, voters also weighed farm incomes, small-town jobs, communal harmony, rural roads. a photo-finish for ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU (SP) against KUSHAGRA SAGAR (BJP) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 112.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Bisauli is narrower: ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU (SP) outpolled KUSHAGRA SAGAR (BJP) by 1,834 votes under 59.38% turnout, and that is the 2022 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 112.

Reading 2022 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Bisauli. ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU (SP) converted 110,569 votes; KUSHAGRA SAGAR (BJP) had 108,735. Turnout 59.38% and margin 1,834 in seat 112 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 421,258, votes polled 250,126, and the head-to-head between ASHUTOSH MAURYA URF RAJU and KUSHAGRA SAGAR. District cues in Budaun 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.
