Internal factionalism in the Trinamool Congress may dent the prospects of the party in the coming assembly elections. Akhil Giri, the sitting Ramnnagar MLA, and Sisir Kumar Adhikari, the incumbent TMC MP from Kanthi Lok Sabha seat, are at odds with each other. However, CPM is still not able to win the confidence of the people who were disenchanted with its long rule of 34 years. While the BJP has some areas of influence in the constituency, the Congress has been reduced to a non-entity and would hope for an alliance with the Left Front to materialize.
