Bharatiya Janata Party · West Bengal Legislative Assembly
MLA, Kalyani (SC)
Serving since 4 May 2026
Elected to represent Kalyani — the municipalities of Kalyani and Gayespur, and seven gram panchayats of Nadia district.
34,792
Margin of victory
votes ahead of the runner-up
Kalyani was won by 2,206 votes in 2021. In 2026 the margin was 34,792 — nearly sixteen times larger.
What has been taken up since 4 May 2026, each with its published report.
Six things the constituency needs, and what is being pushed for on each.
Waste clearance, cutting single-use plastic, and regular cleaning at municipal and panchayat level — keeping a planned town worthy of the name.
Repairing ward and gram panchayat roads, renewing drainage so the monsoon does not leave water standing, and street lighting where it is missing.
AIIMS Kalyani and the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Hospital stand inside this constituency. The work is to make sure ordinary residents actually reach them.
In a town with a university, an IIIT and a government engineering college, local young people should get the same chance — with training and skills as the focus.
Taking the problems of the small and medium units in the Kalyani industrial belt to the state, and using the expressway link to widen the chance of work close to home.
Hearing residents of the two municipalities and seven gram panchayats regularly, writing each matter down, and carrying it to the department concerned.
BJP is my symbol.
Kalyani is not an ordinary seat. This is some of what stands inside it.
Kalyani was laid out as a planned township after independence — the foundation stone was laid on 24 February 1951, and the town, with its wide avenues, underground drainage and block-by-block plan, is credited to Bidhan Chandra Roy.

A 500-bed hospital and medical college
A centrally funded institute of information technology

Trinamool Congress won Kalyani in 2011 and again in 2016. The BJP took it in 2021 by almost exactly one percentage point. In 2026 the seat returned the largest margin in its recent history.
