Phulpur Lok Sabha seat, also spelled 'Phoolpur', is one of the 80 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. It lies in Prayagraj district. Phulpur is a historic constituency and two Indian Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and V P Singh have been elected from this constituency.[1] The first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru died in office in 1964 while holding this seat. Hence it is also called "Nehru's constituency".[2][3]
