Karandighi Constituency Election Results 2026: Karandighi Assembly Seat Details, MLA Candidates & Winner

Karandighi is an assembly constituency located in Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal. The constituency is predominantly rural, with agriculture forming the backbone of the local economy. Paddy cultivation, jute farming, small-scale trade, and daily wage labour dominate livelihoods. The area also has pockets of semi-urban settlements that serve as local commercial hubs, providing services and markets for surrounding villages. In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, Karandighi was won by Goutam Paul of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). He defeated his nearest rival from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by a margin of approximately 7,500 votes. The relatively close margin highlighted the constituency’s competitive political landscape, with voter preferences influenced by both local and state-level issues. Key issues in Karandighi include rural development, infrastructure, and agricultural support. Farmers frequently raise concerns about irrigation facilities, crop pricing, and protection from floods. Road connectivity, electricity reliability, and access to clean drinking water are also major priorities for residents.
