Maynaguri assembly constituency was once a stronghold of the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), one of the constituents of the Left Front that ruled Bengal for more than three decades at a stretch. If recent trends are taken into account, it seems that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has made substantial inroads in the constituency. The RSP MLA Ananta Deb Adhikari, who was elected from the seat in 2011, was left with no option but to join the TMC bandwagon. The coming 2016 assembly election to Maynaguri will be a direct fight between TMC and RSP.
