SP Mukherjee was the first MP from Kolkata South and now BJP is trying its best in Mamata Banerjee's stronghold.

A famous temple in Kolkata South Lok Sabha constituency is Kalikot Temple. This temple is famous throughout the country for the worship of Goddess Kali. People from different parts of the country come to Kali temple to worship Goddess Kali. This Lok Sabha constituency is also Mamata Banerjee's own constituency. Subhash Chandra Bose's native house is in this Lok Sabha constituency. The specialty of this Lok Sabha constituency is that Shyam Prasad Mukherjee, the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, won the first election in the country in 1952 from here. Along with this, he laid the foundation for the saffron ideology. His ideology is still in front of the country in the form of BJP. After him, the right-wing party could never win elections in this constituency. Both the CPI and the Congress have registered victories in this constituency in the past. In the 2009 elections, the BJP could get only 3.96 percent votes here. This is because it is Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee's home region. After the formation of Trinamool, Mamata Banerjee continued to increase its strength in the region. But of late BJP has shown its strength in this area. In the last election, the Trinamool Party got 47.50 percent of the votes, while the BJP candidate Chandra Kumar Bose, a descendant of Netaji, got 34.64 percent. BJP's votes have increased by 9.36 percent compared to last time. This has instilled confidence in the BJP. BJP's performance in the last assembly elections was excellent. This raised the concern of the Trinamool Party. This time BJP is aiming to win this constituency. This is the reason why Union Minister Devasree Chowdhury has been nominated by BJP. They brought it from North Bengal and dropped it in the field here. It is generally considered as Mamata Banerjee's fort. Mamata Banerjee became MP from here 6 times since 1991. Trinamool candidates have won 9 times from here. Social Composition of Kolkata South Lok Sabha Constituency: This Lok Sabha constituency has a mix of urban and rural population.

This time it is expected that there will be a three-way contest in this constituency. Trinamool Congress has given seats to Mala Rai who won last time and BJP has given seats to former Union Minister Devasree Chaudhary. CPI(M) has made the election interesting by fielding actor Naseeruddin Shah's daughter-in-law Saira Shah Haleem. The Bhumiputra issue dominated against Devasree Chaudhary of Balurgat in North Bengal's South Dinajpur district.
