Sheetal Pandey is an Indian politician and a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. As of 2017, he is a first-term member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, representing the Sahajanwa (Assembly constituency) in Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh.[1]
Political career[edit]
Pandey contested his first election in the 2006 by-election from the Kauriram assembly constituency, Gorakhpur.[2]
He lost that election to the Samajwadi Party candidate Ram Bhuwal Nishad by about 10000 votes.[3][2]
Pandey had the support of the then Gorakhpur Bharatiya Janata Party Member of parliament and the current Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath.[2] His loss was attributed to Bharatiya Janata Party rebel Upendra Shukla, who polled about 17,000 votes against Pandey's 41,600 votes, thus dividing the Bharatiya Janata Party vote share.[2] Ram Bhuwal Nishad, who won that election, polled about 52,000 votes.[2] Pandey was given a Bharatiya Janata Party ticket again in 2017 to contest the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[4][5]
In 2017, aged 63, he was elected for the first time to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly. He defeated Yashpal Singh Rawat of the Samajwadi Party, securing 72,213 votes; her nearest rival contestants Yashpal Singh Rawat of the Samajwadi Party secured 56,836 votes and Devnarayan Singh Alias GM Singh of the Bahujan Samaj Party secured 54,143 votes.[4]
The division in the vote share between the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party helped Pandey secure a victory margin of about 18,000 votes.
