Complete Rajganj assembly election results from 1971 to 2021. Check all MLA winners, vote counts, winning margins, voter turnout and 2026 election updates for Rajganj constituency in West Bengal.
Rajganj assembly election results reflect one of the most striking political transformations in the Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal. Rajganj is a reserved Scheduled Caste (SC) assembly seat falling under the Jalpaiguri Lok Sabha constituency. The seat was a CPI(M) stronghold for decades — with Dhirendra Nath Roy and Jatindra Nath Roy holding it through multiple elections from 1977 to 2001.
CPI(M)’s Mahendra Kumar Roy extended the party’s grip further in 2006 with a massive winning margin. However, AITC’s Khageswar Roy then broke that hold and won the Rajganj MLA seat in three consecutive elections 2011, 2016, and 2021 — making him one of the most dominant sitting MLAs in the Jalpaiguri region. With the Rajganj 2026 election approaching, the constituency is set for another closely watched contest. Below is the complete Rajganj election history with year-wise results, vote counts, winning margins, and voter turnout data.
