Medinipur Lok Sabha constituency is one of the star constituencies which is going to polls on 12th May. BJP state president Dilip Ghosh is squaring against veteran TMC leader and Rajya Sabha MP Manas Bhuniya. This time though, TMC has dropped veteran actress and given ticket to Manas Bhuniya who fought unsuccessfully for Congress in 2014 from Ghatal. The assembly segments under Medinipur are Egra,Dantan, Keshiary, Kharagpur Sadar,Narayangarh, Kharagpur and Medinipur. In the West Bengal poll battle, BJP is extremely hopeful of winning Medinipur and predict such a victory will be a huge morale booster in the run-up to 2021 assembly election.
