About Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar

Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar’s long public career reflects a robust blending of intense district organization, executive state governance, and deep community mobilization across the Bareilly region of western Uttar Pradesh. Born on 2 January 1956 in Bareilly, he completed his graduation and post-graduation in science, establishing an early path in rural schooling and agricultural labor organizing. He made his formal state legislative debut in the 2000s, winning the Baheri Assembly seat multiple times and building a reputation as an articulate, uncompromising champion for peasant welfare. Inducted into Yogi Adityanath’s council of ministers, he handled critical state portfolios, including Revenue, where he standardized land tracking layouts. Chosen to contest the strategic Bareilly parliamentary seat in 24, his deep grassroots agrarian networks led to a decisive victory. In the Lok Sabha, his focus centers on fast-tracking national highway overpass clearances, overhauling cooperative sugar processing plants, and securing technical skill labs.
