Let us tell you that in the 2017 UP assembly elections, Swami Prasad Maurya had won from Padrauna of Kushinagar, but at that time he fought on a BJP ticket. Before that, he had also been an MLA on the same seat on a BSP ticket. After being a cabinet minister for 5 years in CM Yogi Adityanath's government, he switched sides and rode on Akhilesh Yadav's cycle at the last moment of the election. Maurya had secured 93,649 (44.79%) votes in the 2017 election, defeating Javed Iqbal of the BSP, who secured 53,097 (25.4%) votes.
On the other hand, if we talk about Fazilnagar seat, from here Ganga Singh Kushwaha of BJP had fed the lotus by getting 10,2778 (48.57%) votes in the 2017 assembly elections, when Vishwanath Singh was second in 60,856 (28.76%) and third number. But Jagdish Singh of BSP got 34250 (16.19%) votes. Vishwanath Singh has won from this seat 5 times. Whereas Ganga Singh Kushwaha had won on BJP ticket in 2012 as well before 2017.
