Politics
Sagarpur has always been crucial to active politics since this colony was made three decades ago. In 1993, when Delhi held its first state election for the 70 MLA seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept the Indian National Congress party by grabbing 49 seats. Mr. Vinod Kumar Sharma was the first MLA who got elected from Nasirpur Constituency on BJP seat. Indian National Congress leader Mr. Mahabal Mishra won three consecutive elections in 1998, 2003 & 2008 from the seat, and was later elected as the Member of Parliament of the area in Indian general election, 2009 from West Delhi. In 2009 by-elections, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Mr. Pradyumn Rajput won the seat. Currently this seat is occupied by Vinay Mishra from Aam Aadmi Party.[1]
