It covers the Champdani municipality, Baidyabati municipality, parts of Serampore municipality, and the Payarapur gram panchayat. The constituency is largely industrial in character, home to a significant working-class population historically aligned with trade union politics. The towns of Sheoraphuli and Baidyabati also fall within its jurisdiction.In 2021, TMC’s Arindam Guin, a former chairman of Baidyabati Municipality, defeated BJP’s Dilip Singh by over 30,000 votes. Notably, the same Dilip Singh is once again the BJP nominee in 2026, setting up a direct rematch. In 2016, the seat was won by Congress’s Abdul Mannan (supported by the Left Front), who defeated a TMC candidate, making it one of the rare constituencies where the Left-Congress alliance triumphed. Mannan later became Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly. The TMC recaptured the seat emphatically in 2021, and Arindam Guin now seeks his second consecutive term against the same BJP rival.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.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Rejects Nepal’s Objection To Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Route Via Lipulekh PassNepal Objects To India-China Plan To Conduct Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Via LipulekhIndia-Linked LPG Tanker MT Sarv Shakti Heads To Visakhapatnam After Crossing HormuzPassenger Opens Emergency Exit Door On Air Arabia Flight While Taxiing At Chennai Airport, ArrestedAhead Of Counting, Gunmen Open Fire At BJP Leader’s House In Bengal’s Noapara‘I Am Also A Victim’: Vinesh Phogat Identifies As Complainant In Brij Bhushan Sexual Harassment CaseBJP MP Sandeep Pathak Claims ‘No Information’ On FIRs, Alleges Misuse Of State Machinery In PunjabIndian Startup Launches Mission Drishti, World’s First OptoSAR Satellite, Aboard SpaceX Falcon 9Diljit Dosanjh Confronts Khalistan Supporters at Calgary Concert, Explains KBC AppearanceDelhi Approves ₹48,000 Crore Metro Expansion Plan To Connect Outer Regions With City Core123PhotostoriesTamil Nadu shocker: Newcomer TVK outpaces ruling DMK and opposition AIADMK in trendsIs your banana rotting too fast in summer?
