Bardhaman–Durgapur Lok Sabha constituency is a new constituency that includes both the Bardhaman and Durgapur cities and the intermediate villages. In a pre-poll feature about the constituency, ''The Statesman'' wrote, "Shivnath Ghosh, a 55-year-old farmer of Belkash village, says, ‘I want the Left Front to be removed from power at the earliest as their sons and family members grab every facility, employment and trade all across the region.’ ... Shivnath's locality has witnessed a change in the guard after the Assembly and the panchayat polls, after the storm of ‘parivartan’ but still remains gasping for a ‘real wind of change’... 'Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, we have new zamindars in the villages, especially the ‘Red Trinamul’ cadres and they dictate the terms leaving us in absolute jeopardy.'<ref name=statesman>{{cite web | url = http://www.thestatesman.net/news/52067-burdwan-durgapur-voters-await-real-wind-of-change.html | title = People complain of ailing industries, retrenchments and closed CPSUs | first = Kanchan | last = Sidiqui | newspaper = The Statesman | date = 29 April 2014 | access-date = 17 June 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140430071158/http://www.thestatesman.net/news/52067-Burdwan-Durgapur-voters-await-real-wind-of-change.html | archive-date = 30 April 2014 | url-status = dead | df = dmy-all }}</ref>

"The Lok Sabha constituency has 15.81 lakh voters, 72 per cent of which comprise rural voters and 7.61 lakh female voters - the highest in the district…The state’s rice bowl also houses uncountable ailing industries…Nearly 1.5 lakh persons have lost their jobs due to retrenchment caused by the collapse of industries."<ref name=statesman/>
