About Malleshwaram:

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-157.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Situated in the north-western locality of the city, Malleshwaram’s name was derived from the Kaadu Malleshwara temple. The area began to be developed after the great plague of 1898. Malleshwaram Constituency comprises Rajamahal, Guttahalli, Kadu, Malleshwaram, Subramanya Nagar, Gayithri Nagar, Aramane Nagara and Mathikere wards.

The constituency was once dubbed the ‘Tamil-Kannada-Konkani Brahmin’ stronghold. The sweeping, gentle boulevards, named after flowering trees, such as Mallige, Sampige and Margosa, have yielded way to a more cosmopolitan environment today with even a materialistic touch, due to the construction of malls, flats, stadia and gyms. However, with increasing growth and commercialisation, the constituency faces a number of problems, such as police harassment, a deteriorating infrastructure pressure, poor traffic management and parking issues.

Malleswaram is called the “thinking man’s constituency and is reputed for its ‘literate’ voters, so politicians are wary about making tall and false promises here. Activists in this constituency have always been vociferous.  As far back as in the 1990s, a theatre complex plan was stopped as residents feared that it would encroach Sankey Tank. Recent protests prevented the BBMP from cutting down trees to broaden Sankey Road. Currently, residents are opposing a commercial apartment complex plan that is being built in forest land nearby. On the other hand vendors, who have been evicted from a 100-year-old marketplace, are pressuring the same builders to speed up their work so that they can get back their space.

  • The total number of votes cast in 2008: 1,03,218.
  • The vote share in 2013: 1,08,304.
  • The number of registered currently: 2,13,528.

Maharashtra elections 2024: What do political parties promise for Mumbai in their manifestos?

by November 18, 2024 Governance
Political parties have tried hard to woo their voters before assembly elections. We analyse their manifestos ahead of voting on November 20.

The 2024 Maharashtra election is not just a crucial determiner for the State but also for Mumbai. This is because it comes at a time when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been disbanded, leaving citizens without corporators to represent their concerns for the past two years. With no local representation, it isn't surprising that many candidates have released their individual manifestos, outlining the work they plan to undertake in their constituencies within the city. But do these manifestos address the challenges Mumbai is facing right now? The city has been struggling with a myriad of issues — huge gaps…
