Ketugram Assembly constituency is an assembly constituency in Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal. The seat was earlier reserved for scheduled castes but is an open seat from 2011.
Overview
As per orders of the Delimitation Commission No. 271 Ketugram assembly constituency covers Ketugram I and Ketugram II blocks and Koshigram and Srikhanda gram panchayats of Katwa I block.[1]
Ketugram (SC) assembly constituency was earlier a part of Baharampur (Lok Sabha constituency). As per orders of the Delimitation Commission Ketugram assembly constituency is part of No. 41 Bolpur (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]
