Political career

Maurya is an original resident of Firozpur village of Dataganj in Badayun district. In 1997, he was made the revenue minister in Government of Uttar Pradesh. He was a candidate of BJP in 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election as well. In 2024, after resignation of Swami Prasad Maurya from Samajwadi Party and his membership of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council, he was made the candidate of BJP for legislative council elections. He was elected unopposed as member of legislative council in this election.[4]

According to media reports, in the year 2022, large number of local representatives like Mukhiyas and village chiefs wrote to BJP leadership that they will ditch BJP if Maurya is given the ticket from the Bhojipura constituency. Yet, BJP fielded him and the party suffered a defeat. However, following the performance of Akhilesh Yadav led Samajwadi Party in 2024 Lok Sabha polls, which was a result of his reliance on the formula of PDA i.e Pichhda (Other Backward Castes), Dalit (Schedule Castes) and Alpsankhyak (Minorities), there emerged a necessity in BJP to raise Other Backward Caste leaders like Maurya to important positions. This resulted in securing of his candidature to Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council.[5]
