Joypur (Vidhan Sabha constituency) (also spelt Jaipur) is an assembly constituency in Purulia district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Overview[]

As per orders of the Delimitation Commission, No. 241 Joypur (Vidhan Sabha constituency) is composed of the following: Joypur and Jhalda II community development blocks; Arsha, Beldih and Manikary gram panchayata of Arsha community development block.[1]

Joypur (Vidhan Sabha constituency) is part of No. 35 Purulia (Lok Sabha constituency).[1]

The West Bengal political scenario has changed dramatically over the years. In the early years after independence it was a scene of fluctuating fortunes between the Congress and the Left wing parties, till the latter captured power in the late seventies. The United News of India in a candid analysis says, “The green surge swept Bengal to demolish the red bastion in 2011 Assembly elections… Moreover, as the Left still remained cornered in state politics, their neutralised voters are increasingly migrating to the BJP for a viable alternative.”[2]
