The 17 reserved seats for Scheduled Castes in Uttar Pradesh include Agra, Bahraich, Bangaon, Barabanki, Bulandshahr, Etawah, Hardoi, Hathras, Jalaun, Kaushambi, Lalganj, Machhlishahr, Misrikh, Mohanlalganj, Nagina, Robertsganj, and Shahjahanpur. Except for Lalganj and Nagina, which were secured by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the BJP had won the remaining seats in the previous elections.
