While the saffron camp is currently in the "trailing" column here, party workers remain hopeful that as the counting progresses into the industrial and rural pockets in later rounds, the BJP's strong statewide momentum which currently sees the party leading in nearly 200 seats will help bridge the gap in this SC-reserved constituency.

Quick Scoreboard: Who’s Up and Who’s Down

The Bardhaman region remains the political epicenter of South Bengal, featuring high-stakes contests between the Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party. Below are the prominent candidates vying for the two key seats.

Bardhaman Uttar (SC)

Nisith Kumar Malik (TMC): The sitting MLA fighting to maintain his 17,268-vote stronghold from 2021.

Sanjoy Das (BJP): The primary challenger leading the saffron charge in this SC-reserved constituency.

Mamoni Mondal (Roy) (CPI-M): Representing the Left Front in an attempt to reclaim their former bastion.

Sudip Das (INC): The Congress face in the four-cornered regional contest.

Bardhaman Dakshin

Khokan Das (TMC): The incumbent defending a narrow 2021 victory margin of 8,105 votes.

Moumita Biswas Misra (BJP): The leading saffron contender aiming for an urban upset.

Gourab Samaddar (INC): A key challenger representing the Congress alliance.

Sudipta Gupta (CPI-M): The Left candidate focused on labor and urban development issues.

Historically known as a "Red Bastion", Bardhaman remained an unshakable stronghold for the CPI(M) for over three decades, symbolizing the heart of the Left Front’s rural dominance. However, the political landscape shifted dramatically in 2011 when the Trinamool Congress (TMC) dismantled this fortress. In 2021, the TMC consolidated its power here, with Khokan Das winning Bardhaman Dakshin and Nisith Kumar Malik securing Bardhaman Uttar. Today, the district has evolved into a fierce TMC-BJP bipolar arena; with the BJP aggressively pushing into these urban and semi-rural belts, Bardhaman is no longer a guaranteed win for any side, but a marquee clash that determines who truly controls the pulse of South Bengal.

The 2021 Assembly Elections saw an overwhelming sweep by the Trinamool Congress across the Bardhaman region. In Bardhaman Uttar (SC), incumbent Nisith Kumar Malik delivered a powerhouse performance, securing a staggering 87.39% of the total votes and trouncing the BJP’s Radha Kanta Roy by a massive margin of 111,211 votes. The story was similar in Bardhaman Dakshin, where Khokan Das maintained the party's iron grip on the urban center, capturing 80% of the polled votes to defeat the BJP's Sandip Nandi by 91,015 votes. These historic margins from the previous cycle highlight the scale of the challenge currently facing the BJP as they attempt to flip these AITC fortresses in 2026.

As the counting for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly Elections reaches a critical stage, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has currently established a significant lead in the popular vote. With over 1.4 million valid votes already tallied across the state, the data reveals a consolidating bipolar contest between the BJP and the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC).

The BJP currently commands 46.04% of the vote share, maintaining an 8% lead over the AITC, while traditional parties like the CPM and Congress are currently struggling to cross the 2% mark.
