West Bengal Assembly elections will be held in April-May 2021. BJP is campaigning aggressively in the state and they still need a promising face in West Bengal. Although Mithun Chakraborty has claimed that there was no political discussion during the meeting, it is still unclear how things will unfold in the future.

Chakraborty had joined the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamul Congress after it came to power in West Bengal in the 2011 Assembly elections. The election had famously dethroned the 34-year-old Left rule. The actor was later nominated as Rajya Sabha member in 2014 but resigned from the membership of Rajya Sabha within two years, citing health issue. Chakraborty, who hails from Bengal has a massive fan following in the eastern state.
