- Mahua Moitra (AITMC): Moitra, the TMC candidate from Krishnanagar, won the Lok Sabha seat by a margin of 56,705 votes. Despite her expulsion from Parliament in December 2023, Moitra’s electoral success highlights her enduring popularity among the constituents.
- Sukanta Majumdar (BJP): Majumdar, the BJP candidate from Kolkata Uttar, won the election with a significant margin. He has been a strong advocate for farmers and has worked to improve agricultural infrastructure.
Factors Influencing the Outcomes
- Voter Turnout: The voter turnout in West Bengal was relatively high, with an average of 78% across all constituencies. This indicates a strong engagement from the electorate.
- Demographic Shifts: West Bengal has seen significant demographic shifts, with a growing youth population and an increasing urbanization trend. This has led to a shift in voter preferences, with younger voters favoring the AITMC.
Implications for Local, State, and National Politics
- Local Politics: The results have significant implications for local politics in West Bengal. The AITMC’s strong performance will likely lead to increased influence in the state government, while the BJP’s gains will keep them relevant in regional politics.
- State Politics: The results will likely impact the state government, with the AITMC likely to gain more seats and the BJP maintaining their presence. This could lead to increased competition between the two parties in the state.
- National Politics: The results have implications for national politics, with the AITMC’s strong performance in West Bengal indicating a growing presence in the national arena. The BJP’s gains will also keep them relevant in national politics.
