Political life[edit]
Ramesh Gautam started politics in 1989 with the Bahujan Samaj Party. He became district president for 12 years, was given the charge of zonal coordinator in various divisions and was known for being a party loyalist.[3]
He contested his first legislative assembly election from Dixir (SC) in 2007 and became an MLA. He has also contested from Mankapur (SC) in 2012 and 2017, and from Balha in a 2019 by-election.[1]
In 2020, Gautam was expelled the BSP by the district president Manoj Kumar Kanojia. He had served there for 31 years in the BSP and was expelled in what he described as a "political conspiracy" taking place within the party. He said that he was willing to come back if given the opportunity.[3][4] He shifted to the Samajwadi Party after finding no recourse and was again fielded from Mankapur (SC) in the 2022 election as an SP candidate, where he received over 62,000 voters and came runners-up to the BJP candidate while the BSP secured around 6,500 votes at a distant third.[1][5]
