The Maharajganj Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh is considered a VIP seat. Located on the India-Nepal border, Maharajganj has a unique history. In the past, it was ruled by Rajput kings before becoming a part of the Kosala kingdom. The history of this region is connected to Lord Buddha’s early life. During the anti-British uprising, the people of this region actively participated.
After independence, freedom fighter and later politician Sibban Lal Saxena, who rose from being a professor, became a hero in this region. Even today, Maharajganj remembers Sibban Lal Saxena as a messiah.
Political activity is a constant feature of the Maharajganj Lok Sabha seat. Currently, Pankaj Chaudhary, a prominent leader of the BJP, is the Member of Parliament.
