Political Career
Brajesh Pathak began his political career while still in college, at the University of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, where he was studying Bachelor of Legislative Law. He ran for and won a student political election in 1990, and was named president of Lucknow University as a result. He became a Member of Parliament for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in 2004. During this time, he was in charge of organising numerous political events in Uttar Pradesh. In 2004, he was elected to the BSP’s Lok Sabha seat from Unnao.

His time in the Rajya Sabha ended in 2014, and in August 2016, Brajesh joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other prominent party members. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BSP) was attempting to broaden its base ahead of the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, after suffering a loss in the 2012 Assembly elections and seeing its vote base erode. In 2017, he ran for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly as a BJP candidate in the Lucknow Central constituency, defeating his primary competitor from the Samajwadi Party, Ravidas Mehrotra, by 39,512 votes. He was initially appointed as a cabinet minister of law and justice in 2017, but as Yogi Adityanath’s ministry expanded, he was promoted to cabinet minister of law and justice in 2019. Brajesh Pathak, who represents the state’s major Brahmin population, took the oath as one of the northern state’s deputy chief ministers on March 25, 2022. The BJP candidates’ oath-taking ceremony has been meticulously planned. Thousands of people gathered at Ekana Stadium for the Yogi 2.0 administration’s swearing-in event.
