It broadly covers the area earlier covered by Durgapur II assembly constituency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1952 [[Ausgram (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Ausgram]] constituency had two members. In 1957, there was the [[Andal, Bardhaman|Ondal]] constituency with two members. In 1962 and 1967, there was a single Durgapur seat. Additionally, there was a [[Faridpur, Durgapur|Faridpur]] seat from 1967 to 1972.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1972, [[Durgapur, West Bengal|Durgapur]] had two assembly seats. As per orders of the Delimitation Commission, Durgapur I and II have been renamed [[Durgapur Paschim (Vidhan Sabha constituency)]] and Durgapur Purba (Vidhan Sabha constituency) respectively. No. 276 Durgapur Purba assembly constituency covers ward nos. 1 – 10, 23 – 28 of Durgapur municipal corporation and Amlajora, Gopalpur and Molandighi gram panchayats of [[Kanksa (community development block)|Kanksa]] community development block. No. 277 Durgapur Paschim assembly constituency covers ward nos. 11 – 22 and 29 – 43 of Durgapur municipal corporation.&amp;lt;ref name=delimitation&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://ceowestbengal.nic.in/news_pdf/gazette123.pdf |title=Delimitation Commission Order No. 18 |access-date=2010-08-21 |publisher=Government of West Bengal |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918130255/http://ceowestbengal.nic.in/news_pdf/gazette123.pdf |archive-date=2010-09-18 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The West Bengal political scenario has changed dramatically over the years. In the early years after independence it was a scene of fluctuating fortunes between the Congress and the Left wing parties, till the latter captured power in the late seventies. The [[United News of India]] in a candid analysis says, “The green surge swept Bengal to demolish the red bastion in 2011 Assembly elections… Moreover, as the Left still remained cornered in state politics, their neutralised voters are increasingly migrating to the BJP for a viable alternative.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = http://www.uniindia.com/eng/electiondisplay.php?sid=803&amp;amp;ngsystemtask=3325weare24olym54hrt56u6755uwere21archives| title = Close fight in Asansol| publisher = UNI, 28 April 2014| access-date = 13 June 2014| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140714124038/http://www.uniindia.com/eng/electiondisplay.php?sid=803&amp;amp;ngsystemtask=3325weare24olym54hrt56u6755uwere21archives| archive-date = 14 July 2014| url-status = dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
