Constituency profile
Kairana Lok Sabha constituency, one of the 80 in Uttar Pradesh, was won by Hasan in 2018 by-elections by defeating BJP's Mriganka Singh by 44,618 votes. The seat was earlier held by Mriganka Singh's father Hukum Singh.
The election result was considered significant as Tabassum was the joint candidate of the SP-BSP-RLD alliance and was also supported by the Congress. The opposition projected the Kairana victory as a sign that it could take on the BJP in the general election if it fielded common candidates. This was the experiment by SP-BSP-RLD which has now evolved into a state-wide alliance of the three parties.
The BJP did not give the ticket to Mriganka Singh, who lost the bye-elections in May last year.
Kairana was at the centre of a huge controversy when in 2017 Hukum Singh, the then sitting MP, alleged exodus of Hindus due to atrocities by criminals from particular communities.
Tabassum Hasan, the sitting MP, had held the seat from 2009 to 2014 but was refused nomination by her party BSP. Before her, Amir Alam Khan and Anuradha Choudhary - both from RLD - won the seat in 1999 and 2004 respectively.
Kairana parliamentary constituency comprises of five Vidhan Sabha segments: Nakur, Gangoh, Kairana, Thana Bhawan and Shamli.
