Bhangar and Canning Purba: The Electoral Battleground in West Bengal

Bhangar and Canning Purba constituencies in South 24 Parganas district are set for a fierce electoral contest on April 29, with the ruling Trinamool Congress facing a strong challenge from the Indian Secular Front led by Nawsad Siddique. The ISF chief won Bhangar in 2021 and is seeking to expand his party's footprint, while TMC has fielded Saokat Molla from Bhangar and Baharul Islam from Canning Purba. Both seats are notorious for political violence, with locals bracing for increased clashes as the polling date approaches.
