About Constituency:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-152.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Byatarayanapura, among the largest and also the fastest growing in the city, is a comparatively newer constituency in north Bangalore. It comprises the wards Jakkuru, Thanisandra, Byatarayanapura, Kodigahalli, Vidyaranyapura, Dodda Bommasandra, and Kuvempu Nagar.

Famous for the Gali Anjeneyya temple, this constituency is a mix of more developed areas with developing ones. You find an uneven blend of affluent localities, with malls, new colleges and residential areas along with other revenue layouts and less developed, almost village-like areas that lack good infrastructure. Well-developed educational institutions are balanced against government schools. Vokkaligas and minorities form most of the voters. The constituency is straddled by a highway leading to the International Airport as well as the Aerospace Park.

The region is plagued by the usual problems, such as bad roads, lack of proper drainage and scarce drinking water. These are issues that have become gargantuan in many of these revenue areas. Areas like Bhadrappa Layout get water-logged during the rainy season. Public and private organisations are also accused of having taken over farmland, eating into the livelihoods of farmers, even though all the parties promise “holistic development”. Citizens voiced their grievances at Janaspandana, a Citizens’ Forum, bringing together citizens, government and activists to thrash out their issues.

  • The total number of voters in 2008: 1,41,793.
  • Total number of voters in 2013: 2,08,380  At
  • The total number of registered voters currently: 4,19,694.

Lok Sabha 2024: A people’s manifesto for urban areas

by April 23, 2024 Governance
Shehri Rashtriya Andolankari Manch (SHRAM) has released a ‘Shehri Sankalp Patr’ with their collective vision for the marginalised in cities.

Cities in India are set to host half of the population by 2030, driving the country's ‘growth’ and ‘development’. Urbanisation is now being seen as a key focus area of public policy and ‘solution’ to ‘development needs’ of our country. However, this rapid urbanisation has brought numerous challenges, particularly for the urban poor, working class, and informal workers who struggle to access housing, livelihoods, and basic rights like water, healthcare, and education. Despite contributing significantly to cities, their rights have often been ignored and violated until now. Over the past year, community groups, workers’ collectives, and people's movements with decades-long…
