Before 2011, Tapan assembly constituency was once a stronghold of the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), one of the partners in the Left Front. After its win in 2011 Trinamool Congress (TMC) has established its hegemony in the constituency. The coming 2016 assembly election to Tapan will be a direct fight between TMC and RSP. BJP will play as catch-up. Congress does not any chance in Tapan.
