About the Constituency:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-154-1.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px”]

Located in the southwest of Bengaluru, Rajarajeshwari constituency is among the four largest assembly segments in the city. This constituency was carved out of Uttarahalli assembly constituency. With more than 4.54 lakh voters, this residential and commercial centre also has a number of educational institutions.

Rajarajeshwari constituency’s nine wards are Rajarajeshwarinagar, Laggere, Kottegepalya, Jnanabharathi, HMT, Jalahalli, J P Park, Laxmidevi Nagar and Yeshwanthpur. The constituency is named after Rajarajeshwari Temple. The Global Village Tech Park, with a number of IT companies, is an important hotspot site here.

Lack of development of lakes is a major worry. The biggest problem is dumping of waste at Laggere. Citizens are deeply worried that in the last four years, almost 40,000 loads of debris and waste have got dumped in the area, which gave the area the name of ‘Laggere Rakshasha Halla’, roughly meaning the devil’s lake. It has created a lot of health problems and groundwater pollution too, according to activists. Another issue that angers the citizens here is the traffic mess. At the entrance arch to the colony, traffic is known to collect for a mile.

  • The number of voters in 2008: 1,43,921
  • The total numbers of voters in 2013: 1,90,075  
  • Today, the total number of registered voters:4,54,909.

by and July 3, 2026 Governance
Voter verification requires linking your 2025 rolls to your 2002 records. Here's how you can fill the forms and register.

Karnataka's Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which began on June 30, requires every voter to complete a fresh verification exercise.

Chennai to lose thrice as many trees as originally estimated for Metro Phase II

by June 23, 2026 Governance
Over 8,000 trees would be either felled or transplanted for the project. Meanwhile, over a third of the transplanted trees haven't survived.

‘Inconvenience today for a better tomorrow’ signs follow commuters across the city as work inches on for the 118-km Chennai Metro Phase II. Residents eagerly await three corridors that will connect Madhavaram to SIPCOT, Lighthouse to Poonamalle Bypass, and Madhavaram to Sholinganallur by 2028. But the project is resulting in an irreversible loss of green cover along the corridors, far more than was estimated at the time of its approval. A total of 8,029 trees would be affected, either felled or transplanted, for the project. Over 7,000 of these trees have been uprooted already. Though new trees are planted to…
