Bandwan Assembly Election Results 2026
Bandwan (ST), Assembly Constituency No. 238, is located in Puruliya district in South Bengal, in the far southwest of the state bordering Jharkhand. Part of the Jangalmahal fringe, it covers the Bandwan community development block within Bandwan sub-division, characterized by rocky laterite uplands, minor rivers, and dense sal forests. The over 272,000 electors are predominantly Scheduled Tribe (Santhal, Bhumij, Munda) communities with a subsistence farming economy supplemented by forest produce and daily labour.Voter concerns centre on forest land rights under the FRA, tribal welfare scheme delivery, MGNREGA wages, road and electricity access in remote hamlets, healthcare, and persistent outmigration due to limited livelihoods. A sensitive Jangalmahal-belt constituency with historical Maoist influence now diminished. Bipolar TMC-BJP-Left contest with tribal identity and welfare scheme delivery playing decisive roles. High turnout (87.3per cent) under Purulia Lok Sabha. In 2021, TMC's Rajib Lochan Saren (an ST candidate) won by 18,831 votes (~7.9per cent of 238,101 total votes), defeating BJP decisively. TMC holds Bandwan comfortably; the margin reflects successful tribal welfare scheme outreach. Strategically important as one of TMC's tribal strongholds in Puruliya district, anchoring the ST-community support base in the Purulia Lok Sabha cluster.
