Laxmi Narayan Choudhary represents the Chhata constituency as a candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly. On December 6, 1992, hundreds of right-wing activists razed the 16th-century Babri mosque claiming it was built on a temple marking the birthplace of Lord Ram. The mosque demolition changed the face of politics, and disputes regarding the same are still being heard in courts.
