Indus has been electing the CPIM member since 1977 barring the last assembly election. Since the party lost the seat by not so high margin in 2011 and of late the party has been in resurgent mode, the coming election to the seat will witness a keen contest between Trinamool Congress (TMC) and CPIM. The BJP has emerged as a force to reckon with. If the Congress, which went to the 2011 assembly in alliance with the TMC, throws it hat in the ring, there will be a multi-cornered contest. The party which will have Congress as its alliance partner will have an edge here.
