A citadel of the CPM, Magrahat Purba has been electing its legislators save for 2011 when TMC wrested the seat. The weakening of the opposition parties should stand TMC in good stead. However, the alliance between the Congress and the Left parties can give the party a befitting reply. BJP will try to make its presence felt. To sum up, the coming election to the seat will witness a close contest between TMC and the CPM.
