Explanation

Amitabh Bachchan was elected as Member of Parliament from Allahabad in 1984 (not 1983 as stated) on a Congress party ticket, defeating H.N. Bahuguna. He served from 1984-1987 but resigned after his name appeared in the Bofors scandal. Lucknow was his later constituency (1998-2004), while Kanpur, Banaras were never his constituencies.
