Jorasanko assembly constituency had given lead to the BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Kolkata Uttar Rahul Sinha a sizable lead of 16,482 votes over his nearest rival in the 2014 Parliamentary elections. However, the Modi wave that was responsible for this surge has subsided. It will be an uphill task for the party to wrest the seat from the Trinamool Congress. The party did not do well in the 2015 elections to those wards of Kolkata Municipal Corporation that form the Jorasanko constituency.
