Singur is a historically significant assembly constituency in Hooghly district, internationally known as the epicentre of the anti-land acquisition agitation of 2006–08 that galvanised Mamata Banerjee's political rise against the Left Front government. The constituency is predominantly agricultural, and the legacy of the land movement continues to shape its political identity. TMC has held the seat comfortably since the change of power in 2011.
In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, the seat was won by Becharam Manna of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). He secured victory over the nearest rival from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by a margin of over 25,500 votes. The result reflected the broader political alignment in the constituency and underlined the dominant party's organisational strength in the area.
The fate of the Singur land — returned to farmers after the withdrawal of the Tata Nano project — and its agricultural productivity remain emotive local issues. Farmers seek better crop pricing, improved irrigation and sustained government support for agriculture. Employment, particularly for the youth who missed out on industrial jobs, is a pressing concern. Rural road connectivity, healthcare access and the implementation of welfare schemes are key voter priorities. 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 Becharam Manna while BJP has fielded Arup Kumar Das for the 2026 election.
