He has served as a Member of Parliament (MP) and has held various positions within the party and the government.

Born on September 21, 1964, in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, Dr. Katheria completed his education in Agra, earning a Master's degree and a Ph.D. in Hindi literature. Before entering politics, he was an academic and worked as a lecturer at Agra University.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Ram Shankar Katheria contested from the Agra constituency in Uttar Pradesh and won the seat, securing a significant victory for the BJP. His win was part of the BJP's massive success in Uttar Pradesh, where the party and its allies won a majority of the seats.
