Mandi Lok Sabha constituency is one of the four Lok Sabha constituencies in Himachal Pradesh state in northern India. The constituency was established in 1952 and has no reservation.
According to a JSTOR article, electoral politics in Himachal Pradesh during the 1990s was dominated by the Congress party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In recent years, the BJP has gained popularity and has been able to present an effective challenge to the Congress party.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Indian National Congress candidate Pratibha Singh won the seat by defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Ram Swaroop Sharma. However, Sharma had won the seat in the 2014 and 2019 general Lok Sabha elections.
In terms of development, a NewsClick report suggests that the biggest issue the entire northern region of Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh faces is the lack of proper roads.
Overall, it seems that Mandi has been a closely contested constituency between the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party in recent years. However, there is not enough information available to determine any long-term historical political trend in the constituency.
