Madarihat Assembly Elections 2016

A bastion of the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), Madarihat has been electing RSP MLAs since 1969. In the last general assembly polls in West Bengal in 2011, Madarihat was only assembly seat where BJP was the runner up. The party had contested 289 of the 294 assembly seats and forfeited as many as in 285.

Trinamool Congress did not field its candidate because it was in alliance with the Congress to which the seat was allotted. The BJP had secured lead from this assembly segment in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. In all likelihood Madarihat will be keenly contested assembly seat in the forthcoming 2016 assembly polls.
