Early life and political career

Hari Shankar Mahor was born in 1956 of Hathras, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He earned his Master of Arts degree in Hathras and earned a Bachelor of Laws from the Varshney College in Aligarh. In 1989, he joined BJP and, with the support of Kalyan Singh, became an MLA in 1991, after getting a BJP ticket from the Sasni state legislative assembly (Vidhan Sabha) of the district. He won elections from the seat in 1993 and 1996. After his elections, he left BJP and joined various other parties but eventually returned to BJP. In the 2017 elections, the party contested him for the Hathras seat, and he won with a great margin. This victory also breaks the 20 year streak of BSP rule.
