The 2026 contest in Sreerampur pits TMC’s Tanmoy Ghosh against BJP’s Bhaskar Bhattacharya and Congress’s Subhankar Sarkar.Sreerampur (constituency no. 186), also rendered as Serampore, is located in Hooghly district and forms part of the Sreerampur Lok Sabha segment. The constituency encompasses parts of the historic Serampore municipality, Rishra municipality, and adjoining gram panchayats. Serampore holds considerable historical significance as a former Danish colonial settlement and an early centre of Christian missionary activity in Bengal, including the famous Serampore College founded in 1818.In 2021, TMC candidate Sudipta Roy retained the seat, defeating BJP’s Kabir Sankar Bose by over 23,000 votes. In 2016, Sudipto Roy of the TMC also won, defeating Congress’s Subhankar Sarkar, the very candidate now fielded by Congress in 2026. The seat has been firmly in TMC hands since 2011. Tanmoy Ghosh is a new face for the TMC in 2026, replacing the incumbent Sudipta Roy. Subhankar Sarkar, having previously run on a Congress ticket in 2016, returns to contest from the same party once more, making this a familiar triangular contest with the added dimension of BJP trying to consolidate its 2021 vote share.
