Speaking during the campaign, Sarkar said that the Matigara-Naxalbari constituency has traditionally been a stronghold for the Congress, with the party securing victories in the 2011 and 2016 Assembly elections. He expressed confidence that the party would reclaim the seat once again.
However, he also criticized the former MLA of the constituency, alleging that the leader betrayed the Congress by defecting to Trinamool Congress for personal gain.
