Anurag Singh

Anurag Singh was born on 24 July 1971, in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, and his father, Om Prakash Singh, was involved in the BJP and passed through almost all levels of public service during his lifetime. His father's active involvement as a BJP politician and a state party president gave him an early age exposure to public life.

He studied in Varanasi and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from DAV College, which was followed by an MBA from Bundelkhand University, and thus, he got skills in management and organization that shaped his political participation later on.

The first time he jumped into the political world was in the year 2017 when he ran for the Chunar Assembly seat in the Mirzapur district and that samajwadi party's candidate by a big margin; in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, he was again voted for the same seat.

MlA Singh has concentrated on the improvement of the infrastructure, the opening of the health facilities, and the supply of utilities like water and electricity in his constituency, as well as on the agricultural and educational projects, thus reflecting his aim for both rural and urban development in his district.

Meanwhile, Anurag Singh is still serving as an MLA from Chunar in 2025, has been actively participating in the work of legislative committees, and is developing the constituency.
