It is very interesting story, which I am going to tell my audience. Kharagpur comes under west Midnapur districts in West Bengal. This parliamentary seat was playing a crucial role before independence and after independence. After independence most of times this seat won by the Indian National Congress and left some time national parties are also perform well here. Bhartiya Janta Party three times becomes the runner-up party from here. First I want to clear that I am not a specific party supporter nor interested in this stupid politics. My main object is to inform my readers about this place political history. Midnapur Parliamentary seat is composed of Kharagpur,Dantan,Egra,Kharagpur Sadar,Keshiary,Narayanpur.
Midnapur prior to it’s division in two part east and west Midnapore this was the bigger than many European countries. So, maintain administrative situation this district divide in west and east Midnapur.
In first parliamentary election in India, Jansangha candidate Durga Charan Baerjee won the seat in 1951.He beat his nearest candidate by 50000 votes.
He was educated from Midnapore College, Scottish Church College and Calcutta University. But after his death this seat was won by Bharat Lal Tudu from Indian National Cogress in 1952.
Narasingha Malla Ugal Sanda Deb was won the Midnapore seat on 1957 election. He was the king from Jhargram raj family and completed his education from Presidency College Kolkata.
