Dhupguri Election Winner Name
The Dhupguri assembly constituency is located in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal. The bypoll was held because the sitting BJP MLA, Bishu Pada Ray, passed away earlier this year. Approximately 60% of the constituency’s population belongs to the Rajbangshi community, which plays a crucial role in determining the election outcome.
In this bypoll, the TMC has nominated Nirmal Chandra Roy, a professor at the local girls’ college, while the BJP has chosen Tapasi Roy, whose husband, a CRPF jawan, was martyred in a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The CPI(M) has fielded Iswar Chandra Roy, a renowned folk artist who also worked as a teacher in a madrassa. In the 2021 elections, BJP’s Bishnu Pada Roy won the seat by defeating TMC’s Mitali Roy with a margin of 4,355 votes.

By Polls Result 2023
The bypoll results in the Dhupguri Assembly constituency in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district indicate that the competition between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP, which began during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, will likely continue until the upcoming general elections next year. These results also highlight that voters are not considering the Congress-Left Front alliance as a viable alternative. The Congress-backed CPI(M) candidate, Ishwar Chandra Roy, received only 13,758 votes, which is 6.52% of the total votes cast. The winner, Trinamool’s Nirmal Chandra Roy, experienced a 2.53% increase in votes compared to the defeated party candidate Mitali Roy in 2021.
On the other hand, the BJP candidate for the bypoll, Tapasi Roy, saw a 1.42% decrease in votes compared to the late Bishnu Pada Roy, the winning party candidate in 2021. These bypoll results reflect several political factors. While the CPI(M)-backed Congress candidate won in the Sagradighi Assembly constituency bypoll earlier this year, breaking the belief that only the BJP can defeat the Trinamool, Dhupguri’s results reaffirm the ongoing competition between the Trinamool and the BJP in Bengal politics.
Political observers suggest that the Left-Congress alliance was not a significant factor in both the 2021 and 2023 elections and is unlikely to be one in 2024. Dhupguri was a CPI(M) stronghold from 1977 to 2011, and even during the 2011 wave of Trinamool’s victory, a CPI(M) candidate was elected with a margin of 4,200 votes. The power dynamics shifted in 2016 when Trinamool’s Mitali Roy won, and again in 2021 when the BJP candidate emerged victorious. The 2023 bypoll has once more altered the political landscape in Dhupguri. In the 2021 Assembly elections, the Congress-backed CPI(M) nominee secured 5.73% of the total votes in Dhupguri.
