Chandrakona assembly constituency was once a bastion of the CPM which retained it despite the change of wave raging across West Bengal. However, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has made substantial inroads in the constituency. The municipalities of Chandrakona, Ramjibanpur and Khirpai, which are parts of the Chandrakona assembly constituency, were won by the TMC in 2015, The CPM MLA Chhayarani Dolui, who was elected from the seat in 2011, was left with no choice but to join the TMC bandwagon. The coming 2016 assembly election to Chandrakona will be a direct fight between TMC and CPM.
