Pratapgarh Sadar Vidhan Sabha: Infrastructure Progress, Employment Concerns Ahead of Assembly Election

The picture of Pratapgarh Sadar Vidhan Sabha is full of contradictions. Roads have reached every village, vehicles are moving fast, Chilbila Biodiversity Park and the proposed Maa Bela Devi Corridor have given a new hope of tourism. However, the picture on the employment front is still incomplete. The Auto Tractor Limited (ATL) industrial area, which was expected to provide employment to thousands of youth, is still silent. Schemes like Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ayurvedic Hospital and Stadium expansion could not move ahead of the files. After more than four years in office, the public is now demanding an account of achievements as well as unfulfilled promises. The question in the assembly election is whether road, high-mast and tourism development will compensate for the lack of employment, or whether youth unemployment and incomplete projects will decide the course of the election this time. Total voters: 3,69,178 Male voters: 2,10,353 Female voters: 1,58,825 In the 2022 assembly election, BJP candidate Rajendra Kumar Maurya (ATL) defeated his rival in the Krishna Garhwa Sadar seat.
