Constituency profile
Akhilesh Yadav had also contested from here in 2009 but did not retain it as he also won from Kannauj. The Samajwadi Party, however, lost the seat after Congress' Raj Babbar defeated Yadav's wife Dimple in the by-election.
While Raj Babbar shifted his base to Fatehpur Sikri in 2014, Akshay Yadav was able to withstand the Modi wave and defeated BJP's SP Singh Baghel with a margin of over 86,000 votes.
The seat was reserved for scheduled caste candidates from 1967 to 2008 and was made unreserved following 2008 delimitation exercise. From 1991 to 1999, it was held by BJP's Prabhu Dayal Katheria who lost to Ram Jilal Suman of the SP. Ram Jilal Suman won the seat for two terms until it was made an unreserved seat.
The Parliamentary constituency comprises five legislative assembly segments - Tundla, Jasrana, Firozabad, Shikohabad and Sirsaganj.
