Simultaneously, his son Pawan Singh has been renominated from the family stronghold of Bhatpara. The announcement, made in the BJP&#8217;s second list on March 19, 2026, has set the stage for a high-voltage political drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arjun Singh, a four-time MLA from Bhatpara and former MP, is known for his muscle power and grassroots connect in North 24 Parganas. By moving him to the neighboring Noapara seat while keeping Pawan at Bhatpara, the BJP aims to capture multiple segments under a single family&#8217;s influence. If both emerge victorious, it will be a rare historical moment in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly to see a father and son serving as MLAs at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Trinamool Congress has been quick to criticize the &#8220;dynastic&#8221; nature of this fielding, political analysts believe Arjun Singh&#8217;s influence extends far beyond a single seat. Arjun Singh expressed confidence after the announcement, stating that the people of Noapara and Bhatpara treat him as their own. The &#8220;Singh Factor&#8221; is now undoubtedly the most discussed topic in the upcoming polls, as the father-son duo prepares for a coordinated assault on the ruling party&#8217;s strongholds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a strategic move to consolidate its hold over the Barrackpore industrial belt, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded heavyweight leader Arjun Singh from the Noapara Assembly constituency for the 2026 West Bengal elections.
