Pushpendra has broken the earlier record of Chandrani Murmu for the youngest MP in Indian parliamentary history.
He has also set the record for the highest win by a margin by the youngest parliamentarian. He defeated two-term BJP MP Vinod Sonkar with a margin of 1.03 lakh votes.

Interestingly, in 2019, SP fielded his father Indrajeet Saroj from Kaushambi Lok Sabha Seat in Uttar Pradesh.
