Santanu Pramanik of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the current MLA for Khejuri (SC) Assembly constituency in Purba Medinipur district. In the 2021 election, he won with 110,407 votes (51.93per cent share), defeating AITC's Partha Pratim Das (92,442 votes) by a margin of 17,965 votes at 89.1per cent turnout. Coastal erosion and frequent cyclones threaten livelihoods in fishing and agriculture, with salinity ingress affecting paddy fields. Unemployment fuels migration, while poor connectivity and embankment breaches worsen flooding. Environmental concerns from illegal sand mining persist. Reserved for Scheduled Castes (No. 215), it comprises Khejuri I/II CD blocks and Garbari GPs of Bhagabanpur II, under Kanthi Lok Sabha. BJP flipped it from AITC's Ranajit Mondal (2011-16 wins); earlier held by WBSP/CPM. The economy centres on aquaculture, salt production, and betel leaf.
