Till 2007 this Constituency was considered Congress bastion but infighting in congress party BJP candidate Rajiv Saijal won this seat. Cong leader Raghu Raj who was undisputed leader of this constituency. He represented this constituency in 1982, 1985,1993,1998 and 2003. Dr Rajiv Saijal who is BAMS Doctor was retained this seat for BJP from 2007-2012,2012-2017 and 2017-2022. Who was in fray for his fourth terms. Initially BJP was hesitant or backing him up from here but it ultimately put him the fray again. He won by margin of 24 votes in 2012 and 424 votes in 2017. Party insider says that Harmail Dhiman who is parry rebel or one of contenders for party tickets since 2017 was fielded by AAP may trapping the Shaijal when margin of victory was very narrow. Thus BJP bastion which was with BJP since 2007 and in 1990 that BJP candidate Satya Pal Kamboj won on BJP ticket may be any body games.
