Nandigram Vidhan Sabha constituency is an assembly constituency in Purba Medinipur district in the Indian state of West Bengal. The General election to the Legislative Assembly of West Bengal for 292 constituencies out of the 294 constituencies in West Bengal was held between 27 March to 29 April 2021 in eight phases.[8] Voting for the two remaining constituencies was delayed and was scheduled to be held on 16 May 2021.[9] Polling in Nandigram took place on 1 April.
On 18 January Mamata Banerjee announced at a rally in Nandigram that she would contest the upcoming assembly elections from Nandigram. Hours later, Suvendu Adhikari, her close aide turned rival, declared he would defeat the CM by a margin of at least 50,000 votes or quit politics.[10][11]
On May 2, the returning officer declared Suvendu Adhikari to be winner after 17 rounds of counting. Mamata Banerjee called the result fraud and decided to move High Court over recounting. Due to BJP's overall loss in the state election, Nandigram seat became a battle of prestige.
