The coming 2017 assembly election to Shrawasti will be a keenly contested fight among the BJP, SP and BSP. Congress will also try to make its presence felt in the constituency. The BJP candidate from the Shrawasti Lok Sabha constituency, Daddan Mishra, had established a lead of 22918 votes over his nearest SP rival Atiq Ahmad in the Shrawasti assembly segment in 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
