Though the BJP candidate from the Farrukhabad Lok Sabha constituency, Mukesh Rajput, had won the seat in 2014 by a margin of 1,50,502 by defeating his nearest SP nominee Rameshwar Singh Yadav, the former had trailed behind the latter in the Aliganj assembly segment by a huge margin of 66655 votes in that election. This can be construed as the dominance of the SP in the Aliganj assembly segment.
