Early life[edit]

Political career[edit]

Pandey joined the Samajwadi party in 1998. He was elected vice-president of Lucknow University in 2004.[4] He is the member of Akhilesh yadav "Team Eleven".[4]

His efforts are praised by people of Faizabad for the approval of a medical college in Faizabad.[5]

A former student union leader at Lucknow University, Pandey is a first-time MLA from Ayodhya in Faizabad district. "I will continue working to strengthen Samajwadi Party, Netaji (Mulayam) and Akhilesh with a target to ensure that Akhilesh becomes CM again after the 2017 polls. The SP is in my heart and spirit and that cannot be removed by merely a letter issued by Shivpal Yadav."

He lost his seat in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election to Ved Prakash Gupta of the Bharatiya Janata Party.[7]
