On the eve of 2014 elections, ''The Statesman'' described the constituency as follows: "The Asansol Lok Sabha constituency is conspicuous by its mixed population — coal mine workers, factory workers, coal mafia, scrap dealers, minority population and a large section of Hindi speaking population."<ref>{{cite web| url = http://thestatesman.net/news/53121-Supriyo-makes-it-tricky-for-TMC--Left.html?page=2 |title =Supriyo makes it tricky for TMC, Left |work = Bengal | publisher = The Statesman, 6 May 2014|access-date = 13 June 2014 }}</ref> ''The New Indian Express'' said that the constituency was dotted with coal mines and 50% of the electorate was Hindi speaking.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Red-Corridors-in-West-Bengal-a-Headache-for-EC/2014/05/07/article2209572.ece |title = Red Corridors in West Bengal a Headache for EC| publisher = The New Indian Express, 7 May 2014 |access-date = 13 June 2014 }}</ref> ''The Statesman'' has put the proportion of non-Bengali voters in the constituency at 36%.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://thestatesman.net/news/52455-cm-in-damage-control-mode.html |title = CM in damage control mode| publisher =The Statesman, 1 May 2014 |access-date = 14 June 2014 }}</ref>
 
The United News of India (UNI) has been candid about the second largest city and urban agglomeration in West Bengal after Kolkata that is a hub of coal mining and railway activity bordering Jharkhand. Asansol has seen, it writes, “a sustained hold over it by the CPI(M) since 1984 (1989?). Before that it was a tale of fluctuating fortune for the CPI(M) and the Congress... However, as the green surge swept Bengal to demolish the red bastion in 2011 Assembly elections... Moreover, as the Left still remained cornered in state politics, their neutralised voters are increasingly migrating to the BJP for a viable alternative.”<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.uniindia.com/eng/electiondisplay.php?sid=803&ngsystemtask=3325weare24olym54hrt56u6755uwere21archives| title = Close fight in Asansol| publisher = UNI, 28 April 2014| access-date = 13 June 2014| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140714124038/http://www.uniindia.com/eng/electiondisplay.php?sid=803&ngsystemtask=3325weare24olym54hrt56u6755uwere21archives| archive-date = 14 July 2014| url-status = dead}}</ref>

Asansol (Lok Sabha constituency) is one of the 543 parliamentary constituencies in India. The constituency centres on Asansol in West Bengal. All the seven assembly segments of No. 40 Asansol (Lok Sabha constituency) are in Paschim Bardhaman district.

Overview

Parliamentary constituencies in West Bengal - 1. Cooch Behar, 2. Alipurduars, 3. Jalpaiguri, 4. Darjeeling, 5. Raiganj, 6. Balurghat, 7. Maldaha Uttar, 8. Maldaha Dakshin, 9. Jangipur, 10. Baharampur, 11. Murshidabad, 12. Krishnanagar, 13. Ranaghat, 14. Bangaon, 15. Barrackpore, 16. Dum Dum, 17. Barasat, 18. Basirhat, 19. Jaynagar, 20. Mathurapur, 21. Diamond Harbour, 22. Jadavpur, 23. Kolkata Dakshin, 24. Kolkata Uttara, 25. Howrah, 26. Uluberia, 27. Serampore, 28. Hooghly, 29. Arambagh, 30. Tamluk, 31, Kanthi, 32. Ghatal, 33. Jhargram, 34. Medinipur, 35. Purulia, 36. Bankura, 37.

On the eve of 2014 elections, The Statesman described the constituency as follows: "The Asansol Lok Sabha constituency is conspicuous by its mixed population — coal mine workers, factory workers, coal mafia, scrap dealers, minority population and a large section of Hindi speaking population."[2] The New Indian Express said that the constituency was dotted with coal mines and 50% of the electorate was Hindi speaking.[3] The Statesman has put the proportion of non-Bengali voters in the constituency at 36%.[4]

The United News of India (UNI) has been candid about the second largest city and urban agglomeration in West Bengal after Kolkata that is a hub of coal mining and railway activity bordering Jharkhand. Asansol has seen, it writes, “a sustained hold over it by the CPI(M) since 1984 (1989?). Before that it was a tale of fluctuating fortune for the CPI(M) and the Congress... However, as the green surge swept Bengal to demolish the red bastion in 2011 Assembly elections... Moreover, as the Left still remained cornered in state politics, their neutralised voters are increasingly migrating to the BJP for a viable alternative.”[5]

The modernisation and expansion programme of IISCO Steel Plant, in this constituency, was completed at a cost of over 16,000 crores.[6] As of 2015, it was the single largest investment in West Bengal till then.[7]
