In 2015 the TMC had won all the eight wards of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) that constitute the Maniktala assembly seat. With its alliance with the Congress the CPM has become a strong force. It would be a keenly contested election in Maniktala. BJP is also a force to reckon with and will cut into the votes of both TMC and CPM.
