In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Patasani bagged 439252 votes and decimated Prithiviraj Harichandan of the BJP.

While Congress' Bijay Mohanty came at the third spot.

The constituency is a stronghold of the BJD.

Patasani is also a sitting MP from Bhubaneswar and had won this seat continuously for five times on the BJD ticket.
