Kolkata: North 24 Parganas district, adjoining Kolkata, is the largest district of West Bengal with 33 assembly constituencies. This district will play a key role in determining which party will form government in the state.
In the 2016 assembly elections, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) swept this district by winning 27 seats. The Congress and the Left won three each. However, by 2019, a lot of political changes took place in the district, which led to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning two out of five Lok Sabha seats or leading in 12 out of 33 assembly segments.
