In the state of Karnataka, 14 of the 28 Lok Sabha constituencies went to the polls on April 26, including the Bangalore Central seat. This constituency holds great importance as it encompasses some of the key areas of the tech capital, including the IT belt of Mahadevapura, which has been facing severe traffic and infrastructure challenges.
The Bangalore Central constituency consists of eight assembly segments: Sarvagnanagar, CV Raman Nagar, Shivajinagar, Shantinagar, Gandhi Nagar, Rajaji Nagar, Chamrajpet, and Mahadevapura.
Established in 2008 during the delimitation process, Bangalore Central has been a battleground for political competition since its inception. Since 2009, BJP candidate PC Mohan has consistently won elections in this constituency.
In the 2019 general elections, popular Indian actor Prakash Raj contested as an independent candidate from Bangalore Central but did not secure a win. Mohan defeated Congress leader Rizwan Arshad by a margin of more than 70,000 votes. In 2014, Mohan had also defeated Arshad and secured 557,130 votes, while the Congress candidate received 4,19,630 votes.
In the current election, Mohan is running for re-election as a BJP candidate and highlighting his track record as an MP over the last three terms. Meanwhile, the Congress party has fielded Mansoor Ali Khan to challenge Mohan. Khan's campaign focuses on securing the appropriate allocation of central government funds for Bengaluru and addressing infrastructure concerns.
Khan brings his own political lineage to the contest as the son of K Rahman Khan, a seasoned politician from the Congress and former Union Minister of Minority Affairs. His candidacy aims to leverage his political experience and the support of the Congress party base.
The remaining 14 seats in Karnataka will be decided in the third phase of the elections, scheduled for May 7.
