Sanghmitra Maurya is the daughter of Swami Prasad Maurya, once a minister in the BJP government, who parted ways and aligned with the Samajwadi Party (SP) just before the 2022 Uttar Pradesh (UP) Assembly elections. The BJP has denied her ticket from Budaun Lok Sabha seat and instead fielded regional president of the 'Braj Prant', Durvijay Singh Shakya.
