The Panihati Election Result has drawn major attention in the ongoing West Bengal Assembly Election 2026 vote counting. In the Panihati constituency, BJP candidate Ratna Debnath is currently leading.
Ratna Debnath is the mother of the young woman who died in the shocking incident at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. She entered politics after demanding justice for her daughter. During her campaign, she strongly raised the issue of women’s safety across the state.
Her lead in the Panihati Election Result has created intense political interest. The constituency has long been considered a stronghold of the All India Trinamool Congress. BJP and the TMC candidate Tirthankar Ghosh are locked in a close fight.
Since 2011, the seat has been represented by TMC leader Nirmal Ghosh. Political observers believe the public anger over the RG Kar incident may influence voting patterns in this constituency.
