Pandabeswar (Vidhan Sabha constituency) is an assembly constituency in Durgapur subdivision of Paschim Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Overview

As per orders of the Delimitation Commission, Ukhra (Vidhan Sabha constituency) ceased to exist and No. 275 Pandaveswar assembly constituency was created from 2011. It covers Pandabeswar and Faridpur-Durgapur community development blocks. ^[1]

Pandaveswar assembly segment is part of No. 40 Asansol (Lok Sabha constituency). ^[1]

The United News of India (UNI) has been candid about the second largest city and urban agglomeration in West Bengal (the area covered by the Asansol Lok Sabha Sabha constituency) after Kolkata that is a hub of coal mining and railway activity bordering Jharkhand. Asansol has seen, it writes, “a sustained hold over it by the CPI(M) since 1984. Before that it was a tale of fluctuating fortune for the CPI(M) and the Congress… However, as 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]
