In the 2021 election, he secured 1,12,435 votes, defeating BJP’s Antara Bhattacharya, who polled 1,05,779 votes, giving him a winning margin of 6,656. Key issues in this largely rural, agrarian constituency include dependence on paddy and potato cultivation, demand for assured irrigation, and better farm‑gate prices for small and marginal cultivators. Road connectivity between villages and markets, upgrading government schools and health centres, and controlling seasonal out‑migration for work are recurring concerns noted in district‑level livelihood assessments. Pingla is a general (non‑reserved) seat under the Ghatal Lok Sabha constituency, represented by TMC MP Deepak Adhikari (Dev), who retained the parliamentary seat in 2024 with a margin of over 1.8 lakh votes, reinforcing Trinamool’s organisational edge across this belt. Historically, the area was a stronghold of the Democratic Socialist Party (Prabodh Chandra), before a decisive shift to TMC from 2016 onwards, marking a significant change in Left‑of‑centre rural politics here.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.

On the accusations that the BJP “in active collusion” with the Election Commission “is opening ballot boxes without the presence of any relevant party stakeholders”, BJP leader Tapas Roy said that the ruling party leaders “are spreading rumours” as they “are preparing ground for their defeat” in the assembly polls.Roy arrived at Netaji Indoor Stadium as TMC leaders Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja staged a protest over the allegations. “We will deploy two persons to look after the strong room…They (TMC) are just spreading rumours as they are preparing ground for their defeat…Three-layer security arrangements are here,” he told reporters, as quoted by ANI.”They cannot do this. They cannot assemble in front of the strong room. No sit-in demonstration or slogan shouting should happen in front of a strong room. This is wrong. Why did the Kolkata Police allow it?…What manipulation are they (TMC) accusing us of? Two of us had come here when we heard about it. We came when we were told to visit here,” he added.This came as TMC leader Shashi Panja accused BJP leaders of creating a ruckus, saying the protest had been peaceful before their arrival. “We were sitting on the dharna peacefully…BJP leaders created a ruckus here,” she said.TMC leader Kunal Ghosh also levelled allegations against the BJP, questioning why he and others were not allowed entry while Roy was. “We were removed, but Tapas da went inside. What do you call this? That is like their own party office. These agent central police with the BJP people… it is not in the hands of the Kolkata police; even the Kolkata police personnel are now all appointed by the Election Commission. As a result, our… Hey, if he is a candidate, we are also candidates. Will you remove a candidate?” he said.“We were there in a peaceful manner. They were here with the intention of stealing; they were working here secretly, opening the strong room without informing anyone before our people reached. After Dr. Panja, I, and our team arrived, we intervened and brought this to attention. Even then, we were not allowed to enter. Later, when we were sitting peacefully, and our work and discussions were going on, the BJP came and caused trouble. Why is the BJP so envious?” he added.The matter escalated when , the TMC put forward their accusations against the BJP, calling it “the murder of democracy in broad daylight”.In a post on X, the party also shared a video and described the alleged “opening of ballot boxes” as gross electoral fraud. “ALARMING This is the murder of democracy in broad daylight. CCTV footage has exposed how @BJP4India, in active collusion with the @ECISVEEP, is opening ballot boxes without the presence of any relevant party stakeholders. This is gross electoral fraud being committed openly with the full knowledge and protection of the Election Commission,” the party said.The party further accused the BJP of trying “every dirty trick” to defeat it in the assembly polls and “stooping to tampering with EVMs” in desperation. “They have tried every dirty trick, name deletion, voter intimidation, Central Force terror, cash flooding, and failed miserably. Now, in sheer desperation, they have stooped to tampering with EVMs. But Bengal is not Maharashtra, Delhi, or Bihar. We will not sit silently and watch them loot our democracy,” it said.The development comes a day after the second and final phase of polling in West Bengal, which recorded a voter turnout of 92.67 per cent.

CCTV footage has exposed how @BJP4India, in active collusion with the @ECISVEEP, is opening ballot boxes without the presence of any relevant party stakeholders. This is gross electoral fraud being committed openly with the full knowledge and protection of the Election Commission,” the party said.The TMC further alleged that multiple attempts were being made to influence the electoral process. “They have tried every dirty trick, name deletion, voter intimidation, Central Force terror, cash flooding, and failed miserably. Now, in sheer desperation, they have stooped to tampering with EVMs,” it said in the post.The party also claimed that senior leaders had begun a sit-in protest. “Our leaders Smt. @DrShashiPanja and Shri @KunalGhoshAgain have already begun a dharna outside Netaji Indoor Stadium. Smt. @MamataOfficial will personally visit the spot and take stock of the situation,” the post added.According to the party, chief minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to visit the protest site.Meanwhile, the TMC reiterated its allegation that “we will not allow the Delhi Zamindars and their puppet Election Commission to steal the mandate of the people.”The second and final phase of polling in West Bengal concluded on Wednesday.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.
