Political career
[edit | edit source]Alok Kumar has been a MLA for three terms. He represented the Bhongaon constituency and is a member of the Samajwadi Party political party.[1][2] Alok Kumar is the only leader who holds the record of consecutive three time MLA from constituency Bhongaon since the Independence. In 2012 U. P. General Elections Alok Kumar won the Bhongaon seat by the margin of over 50,000 votes from his competitor Sakshi Maharaj, prominent and strong leader of Bharatiya Janta Party. He also held the position of State Minister of Technical Education in Uttar Pradesh Government during his third tenure as MLA. The main cause of losing his seat in 2017 is the division of votes in his constituency due to family feud in Yadav Parivaar.[9] He lost his seat in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election to Ram Naresh Agnihotri of the Bharatiya Janata Party.[10][11]
