West Bengal Elections 2026 | Nandigram Contest Intensifies As TMC Fields Suvendu Adhikari's Ex-Aide
The high-stakes political battle in West Bengal’s Nandigram has intensified, with the Trinamool Congress fielding Pabitra Kar, once a close aide of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. Adhikari, the sitting MLA who defeated Mamata Banerjee in 2021, is seeking to retain his stronghold, even as shifting voter trends and recent BJP gains add to the uncertainty. Nandigram, a symbolically crucial constituency in Bengal politics, is once again at the centre of a prestige fight between the BJP and TMC. With local issues like unemployment and welfare delivery shaping voter sentiment, all eyes are now on April 23 as the battleground heats up.
