Once a citadel of the Left, Falakata was wrested by Trnamool Congress (TMC) on the wave of Poriborton (change) that became the catchphrase in the last assembly elections. Since then, while the left has been losing ground in many parts of the state, the BJP has made considerable gains since the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Though the contest for the upcoming assembly poll to Falakata will be between the TMC and the Left, the BJP is also a competitive force here.
