Maldaha Assembly Election Results 2026

Maldaha, a Scheduled Caste-reserved constituency in Malda district, sits within one of West Bengal's best-known agricultural belts, famous for its mango orchards and silk production. The constituency is largely rural in character, with farming, trade and allied industries forming the economic backbone. Malda district has seen intense political competition in recent years, and Maldaha (SC) has been no exception. In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the seat was won by Gopal Chand Saha of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He secured victory over the nearest rival from the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) by a margin of 15,456 votes. The result reflected the broader political alignment in the constituency and underlined the dominant party's organisational strength in the area. Key issues in Maldaha (SC) include agricultural welfare — particularly for mango and silk farmers — and access to government support schemes for Scheduled Caste communities. Infrastructure gaps, including road quality, healthcare access and connectivity with Malda town, remain important voter concerns. Employment and migrant labour are recurring themes, as many residents travel to other states for seasonal work. Welfare scheme delivery, land rights and protection from river erosion by the Mahananda and Kalindri rivers are also central to local political discourse. The 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections are shaping up as a high-stakes contest between the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is seeking to make major inroads into the state. With anti-incumbency, law-and-order concerns and welfare delivery all playing a role, every constituency is expected to be closely watched. Trinamool Congress has fielded Lipika Barman Ghosh while BJP has fielded Gopal Chandra Saha for the 2026 election.
