Katwa Assembly constituency is an assembly constituency in Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Overview

As per orders of the Delimitation Commission, No. 270 Katwa assembly constituency covers Katwa municipality, Dainhat municipality, Katwa II community development block and Khajurdihi, Sudpur, Karajgram and Goai gram panchayats of Katwa I CD Block. Koshigram and Srikhanda gram panchayats of Katwa I CD Block are part of Ketugram Assembly constituency. Saragram, Gidhgram and Alampur gram panchayats of Katwa I CD Block are part of Mangalkot Assembly constituency.[1]

Katwa assembly segment was earlier part of Katwa (Lok Sabha constituency). As per orders of Delimitation Commission it is part of No. 38 Bardhaman Purba (Lok Sabha constituency).[1]

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.”[2]
