Not-so-Young Turk works to retain seat in Byatrayanapura

Incumbent MLA Krishna Byregowda is fighting the perception of not being accessible. 16 candidates are in the fray in this northern part of Bengaluru.

 

Byatarayanapura is a part of the Bangalore Urban District with around 3.1 lakh voters. It suffers from road infrastructure issues. Bus connectivity is also of concern to residents. Land encroachment is another troublesome issue. Bad roads have been a menace to this constituency. They’ve led to unbearable traffic and road accidents. Drinking water supply also remains inadequate. Reason being, borewells have gone dry.

The constituency consists of seven BBMP wards — Jakkur, Thanisandra, Byatarayanapura, Kodigehalli, Vidyaranyapura, Doddabommasandra and Kuvempunagar; as well as eight gram panchayats of Doddajalla, Chikkajalla, Hunsemaranahalli, Bagalur, Marenahalli, Sonappanahalli, Betta Halasooru, Bandi Kodigehalli; and three Zilla Panchayats of Betta Halasuru, Hunsemaranahalli, Bagalur.

Bengaluru’s GBA and Hyderabad’s CURE: What they have in common and where they differ

While the mega-cities have split up into smaller corporations, both have put state leadership in control of city governance.

With the Core Urban Region (Integrated Governance) Bill 2026, better known as the CURE Bill passing in the Telangana Legislative Assembly, India's two fastest-growing mega-cities—both having crossed the 1.3-crore population mark—now operate under brand-new urban governance laws enacted within roughly two years of each other.  Both states confronted the exact same structural challenge: a single, overstretched corporation, fractured inter-agency coordination, and an urgent need for hyper-local administrative units capable of  delivering civic services efficiently.

SIR in Bengaluru: Disenfranchisement at a grand scale

With Bengaluru Urban seeing a 42 per cent reduction in the voter rolls, is the SIR an update or a denial of electors' rights?

The CEO Karnataka recently published the final rolls for Karnataka after finishing their hurried and stressful Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
