Both Trinamool Congress and CPM are equally poised to claim the Monteswar assembly seat which was won by latter in 2011 due to the choice of the candidate by the TMC not going down well with its supporters. A division of votes between TMC and Congress can prove beneficial to CPM whose dominance in the constituency dates back to 1977, since when the party has been winning the seat. The BJP is not a force to reckon with in the Monteswar assembly constituency.
