Bhabanipur, long seen as Mamata Banerjee’s stronghold, is witnessing a more complex political mood ahead of the 2026 West Bengal elections. A ground report by TOI highlights a clear contrast within the constituency—from strong loyalty near Kalighat to a more cautious, guarded sentiment in business-heavy pockets like Russell Street. While many continue to back “Didi” without hesitation, concerns around cut money, corruption and law and order quietly shape voter thinking. The contest has turned high-stakes with the BJP fielding Suvendu Adhikari against Mamata Banerjee, recreating the Nandigram rivalry in South Kolkata. Recent rallies by both leaders have heightened tensions on the ground. Beyond the political clash, a larger issue cuts across party lines—jobs and industry. Even loyal supporters acknowledge the need for stronger economic growth, reflecting a broader concern seen across West Bengal.
