Bilaspur is a Lok Sabha parliamentary constituency in Chhattisgarh.

Bilaspur-Durg-Raipur Lok Sabha constituency

During the 1951-52 Lok Sabha elections, Bilaspur, Durg and Raipur formed a joint parliamentary constituency. This arrangement continued until the 1956 delimitation, when the areas were separated into present three distinct constituencies.

The joint constituency elected two Members of Parliament, Bhupendra Nath Mishra & Agam Dass Guru. After Guru Agam Das Guru's death in 1955, his wife Minimata won the subsequent by-election, becoming the third representative from this region.
