Para (Vidhan Sabha constituency) is an assembly constituency in Purulia district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is reserved for scheduled castes.

Overview[]

As per orders of the Delimitation Commission, No. 245 Para (Vidhan Sabha constituency) (SC) is composed of the following: Para and Raghunathpur II community development blocks.[1]

Para (Vidhan Sabha constituency) is part of No. 35 Purulia (Lok Sabha constituency).[1] It was earlier part of Bankura (Lok Sabha constituency).[2]

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.”[3]
