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

Ghatal (SC), Assembly Constituency No. 231, lies in Paschim Medinipur district in South Bengal's alluvial Ghatal subdivision, bordered by the Silai and Shilabati rivers prone to annual flooding. The constituency encompasses Ghatal municipality, parts of Ghatal I and II blocks, and several gram panchayats, with a predominantly agrarian SC population dependent on paddy cultivation and small trade. Over 270,000 electors include both rural farming communities and a smaller urban pocket around Ghatal town. Flood control, silting of rivers, irrigation infrastructure, job scarcity for youth, road connectivity, and recurring waterlogging are defining voter concerns. Under Ghatal Lok Sabha (SC), this seat has a Jangalmahal-fringe sensitivity and is prone to high-turnout polarized SC-community contests.The seat has historically leaned TMC after a Left Front regime, but experienced a dramatic 2021 reversal in a bipolar TMC-BJP contest at 82.9per cent turnout. In 2021, BJP's Sital Kapat defeated the TMC incumbent by a razor-thin margin of just 966 votes (~0.4per cent of 224,070 total votes cast), making it one of the most marginal results in West Bengal that year. BJP's Sital Kapat, benefiting from anti-incumbency and flood-related grievances, won as a first-time MLA. An extremely marginal BJP hold; any fraction-of-a-percent swing could flip this seat. Critical for TMC's recovery calculus in Paschim Medinipur's 12-seat Ghatal Lok Sabha cluster.
