1951-1972

Prafulla Chandra Sen won the Arambagh seat in 1972, ^[12] 1971 ^[13] and 1969. ^[14] In a historic contest in 1967 ^[15] Prafulla Chandra Sen, then the Congress Chief Minister, lost the Arambagh seat to Ajay Kumar Mukherjee of Bangla Congress, who became the new Chief Minister, in the first United Front government in the state. The main factor of Sen's defeat was student agitation there. Students under the leadership of Narayan Ch Ghosh had organised farmers, poor people and the middle class against Sen. In 1962 ^[16] Arambagh had two seats. Prafulla Chandra Sen of Congress won the Arambagh East seat and Radha Krishna Pal of Congress won the Arambagh West seat. In 1957 ^[17] Radha Krishna Pal of Congress won the Arambagh seat. In independent India's first general election in 1951, ^[18] Arambagh had twin seats. These were won by Madan Mohan Saha of CPI and Radha Krishna Pal, Independent.
