Kharagpur Sadar in Paschim Medinipur district is currently represented by Hiranmoy Chattopadhyaya (popularly Hiran Chatterjee) of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. In the 2021 election, he secured 79,607 votes, defeating Trinamool Congress candidate Pradip Sarkar, who got 75,836 votes; the victory margin was 3,771 votes, making it a closely contested seat. Key issues include employment for educated youth around the railway, engineering and service hubs, better connectivity between Kharagpur town and surrounding villages, and pressure on urban infrastructure—drainage, drinking water, and housing—in rapidly growing suburbs.

Politically, Kharagpur Sadar has a strong Congress legacy through long‑time MLA Gyan Singh Sohanpal, but shifted to the BJP with Dilip Ghosh’s 2016 win and consolidated that trend again in 2021 under Hiranmoy Chattopadhyaya, making it one of the party’s key footholds in south Bengal. The seat falls under the Medinipur Lok Sabha constituency, now held by TMC’s June Malia after the 2024 general election, creating a BJP‑MLA/TMC‑MP split that shapes current political contestation on the ground.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Kharagpur Sadar in Paschim Medinipur district is currently represented by Hiranmoy Chattopadhyaya (popularly Hiran Chatterjee) of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. In the 2021 election, he secured 79,607 votes, defeating Trinamool Congress candidate Pradip Sarkar, who got 75,836 votes; the victory margin was 3,771 votes, making it a closely contested seat. Key issues include employment for educated youth around the railway, engineering and service hubs, better connectivity between Kharagpur town and surrounding villages, and pressure on urban infrastructure—drainage, drinking water, and housing—in rapidly growing suburbs.

Politically, Kharagpur Sadar has a strong Congress legacy through long‑time MLA Gyan Singh Sohanpal, but shifted to the BJP with Dilip Ghosh’s 2016 win and consolidated that trend again in 2021 under Hiranmoy Chattopadhyaya, making it one of the party’s key footholds in south Bengal.
