Sarvaraj Singh has won from Aonla for three terms - twice on SP ticket and once on JD(U) symbol. He won from Aonla in 1998 and 1999 on SP ticket but switched to JD(U), which was a BJP ally, in 2004. In 2009, the BJP fielded Maneka Gandhi who was able to win the seat for the first time.

The Parliamentary constituency comprises five legislative assembly segments - Aonla, Bithari Chainpur and Faridpur of Bareilly district; Dataganj and Shekhupur of Budaun district.
