The Left Front, which had won the 1977 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election, emerged victoriously. The Indian National Congress emerged as the main opposition party in the state, as the Janata Party was disintegrating. Background On 6 January 1982, the West Bengal government requested that assembly elections be held on 15 March 1982, due to the approaching Monsoon season starting in April.Report on the Election to the Office of President of India, 1982 and Legislative Assemblies, Delhi Metropolitan Council, 1982–83: Narrative https://books.google.com/books?id=zEcmAAAAMAAJ 1983 Election Commission of India However, in the end the election was held in May 1982, parallel to state assembly elections in Kerala, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana.The Commonwealth Yearbook https://books.google.com/books?id=VomOAAAAMAAJ 1991 H.M. Stationery Office 216 Parties and Alliances Left Front Ahead of the 1982 assembly elections, the Left Front had gained three new members; the Communist Party of India (CPI), the West Bengal Socialist Party (WBSP) and the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP).Amrita Basu Two Faces of Protest: Contrasting Modes of Women's Activism in India https://books.google.com/books?id=ZyY0Yb5BrqgC&pg=PA44 1 October 1994 University of California Press 978-0-520-08919-8 44 Some of the older, smaller Left Front constituents were uncomfortable with the expansion of the alliance, claiming that CPI(M) was diluting it politically. There were also disagreements on distribution of ministerial portfolios after the expansion of the alliance. The Left Front campaign was heavily centred on the success of its land reform program & its empowerment of rural areas by conducting elections to the newly formed 3-tier panchayat system in 1978. Congress (I)-Congress (S) alliance As of the early 1980s, the Congress(I) was heavily divided in West Bengal. Divisions existed in each of the appointed ad hoc district committees across the state.India Today. Year of reckoning In 1978, Sharad Pawar named former West Bengal Congress leader Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi as president of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee (Socialist). However Congress(I) and Congress(S) contested the 1982 in alliance. The IC(S) performed poorly in the 1982 assembly elections and a merger of the West Bengal units of the Congress(S) into the Congress(I) took place soon after the 1982 polls.Stig Toft Madsen Kenneth Bo Nielsen Uwe Skoda Trysts with Democracy: Political Practice in South Asia https://books.google.com/books?id=6w7JVOlDIokC&pg=PA165 2011 Anthem Press 978-0-85728-773-1 165 Congress(I) emerged as the largest opposition party in the election. Most of the seats previously held by the Janata Party were won by Congress(I) while also retaining the seats held by the Congress(R). With the Janata Party eradicated from the assembly, West Bengal politics became polarized between the Left Front and Congress(I) for many years until 1998.

Six incumbent Left Front ministers were defeated in their respective constituencies.
