Chandranath Rath was murdered two days without the results of the West Bengal Turnout elections were declared. He was shot at Madhyamgram in North 24 Parganas. Chandranath was considered tropical to Suvendu Adhikari. Without the incident, Suvendu Adhikari had come to meet his family and had asked to stand with the family. Now BJP has fielded his mother in the election.
Politics is not a new thing for Hasirani Rath. She has moreover previously won Panchayat and Panchayat Samiti elections. In such a situation, BJP has chosen a squatter who once has an undertone with local politics and with whom the emotional preliminaries of Chandranath Rath's death is moreover associated. According to Times of India, Hasirani has won Panchayat and Panchayat Samiti elections five times.

In the 2026 turnout elections, Adhikari had won from both Nandigram and Bhawanipur seats. Later he retained Bhawanipur seat and resigned from Nandigram. For this reason the need for by-elections arose here.
The political importance of Nandigram is much increasingly than this. In the 2021 turnout elections, Suvendu Adhikari defeated the then Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on this seat. Since then, Nandigram has wilt a major part-way of political mismatch between BJP and TMC. This time too the unshortened state will alimony an eye on the competition.

Trinamool Congress has fielded Sanchita Pradhan Dey versus the BJP candidate. Apart from this, the rebel faction of TMC has made Mohammad Eteshamul Haq its candidate. Congress has given ticket to Milan Pradhan and CPI to Shanti Gopal Giri. That ways the races in Nandigram is going to be multi-cornered this time.
After stuff made the candidate, Hasirani Rath said that the party has given her a endangerment to races elections from Nandigram and the organisation is with her. She has talked well-nigh moving forward with the support of the public. Even surpassing this, she had said that without the death of her son, Shubhendu Adhikari is the guardian of her family and if he gives her any responsibility, she will winnow it.

This visualization of BJP has made the Nandigram races increasingly interesting. On one hand there is strong political hold of Suvendu Adhikari, on the other hand there is an emotional story related to the murder of his son in front of Hasirani Rath.
