Saumitra Khan (born: 8 December 1980) is an Indian Bharatiya Janata Party politician. Since 2014, he has served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bishnupur Lok Sabha constituency. He served as president of the state's BJP Yuva Morcha.[2] Khan has represented Bishnupur in the 16th, 17th, and now 18th Lok Sabhas in a row, taking part in debates on rural development, infrastructure, and employment.[3]
In 2019, Khan switched from the TMC to the BJP and won the Bishnupur constituency in the 17th Lok Sabha elections. His election, however, was preceded by a legal dispute involving allegations of extortion based on job promises, which Khan denies. The Calcutta High Court barred him from entering his constituency during the 2019 election campaign period, but he won the seat despite the restrictions.[4][5]
Khan defeated her divorced wife in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, winning by 5567 votes from the Bishnupur Lok Sabha constituency.[6]
In the 17th Loksabha, his attendance in Parliament was 78%, the highest of any West Bengal MP at the time.[3][6]
