Maynaguri (SC) is a Scheduled Caste–reserved assembly constituency located in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal. Positioned in the Dooars region of north Bengal, the constituency is largely rural, with agriculture, small-scale trade, and tea garden–linked livelihoods playing a central role in the local economy. Maynaguri has remained politically relevant due to its diverse voter base and its reflection of broader electoral shifts seen across Jalpaiguri district.

He defeated his nearest rival from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by a margin of 31,000 votes (approximate). The victory was seen as significant for the ruling party, particularly in a region where contests have become increasingly competitive in recent election cycles.
