'''Bilaspur''' is a [[Lok Sabha]] parliamentary [[constituency]] in [[Chhattisgarh]].

== Bilaspur-Durg-Raipur Lok Sabha constituency ==
During the [[1951–52 Indian general election|1951-52 Lok Sabha elections]], Bilaspur, [[Durg Lok Sabha constituency|Durg]] and [[Raipur Lok Sabha constituency|Raipur]] formed a joint parliamentary constituency. This arrangement continued until the [[Delimitation Commission of India|1956 delimitation]], when the areas were separated into present three distinct constituencies.

The joint constituency elected two Members of Parliament, [[Bhupendra Nath Misra|Bhupendra Nath Mishra]] & Agam Dass Guru.
After Guru Agam Das Guru's death in 1955, his wife [[Minimata Agam Dass Guru|Minimata]] won the subsequent by-election, becoming the third representative from this region.
