About Mitali Bag

Mitali Bag’s rapid rise to national legislation reflects the robust strength of rural local governance and women’s development networks in West Bengal. Born on 1 January 1977 in Goghat, Hooghly district, she spent her early career working at the absolute foundation of community welfare as an Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Anganwadi worker. This role gave her an intimate understanding of maternal nutrition and rural educational deficits. She stepped into formal politics through local panchayat bodies, eventually winning an election to the Hooghly Zilla Parishad. Her exceptional grassroots connect prompted the party command to nominate her for the Arambagh (SC) Lok Sabha seat in 2024, where she executed a highly resilient campaign to defeat her BJP rival. In parliament, she has actively demanded the release of delayed MGNREGA and rural housing funds, transitioning to the NCPI during the mid-2026 political shift.
