About the constituency

[flexiblemap src=”http://data.opencity.in/Data/Karnataka-Assembly-Constituency-160.kml” width=”100%” height=”400px” ]

Sarvagnanagar constituency, located in the north-east of the city, has a mix of developed as well as developing areas. The constituency includes Nagavara, HBR Layout, Banasavadi, Kammanahalli, Kacharkanahalli, Kadugondanahalli, Lingarajapura and Maruthi Seva Nagar wards. Like other suburbs in the Cantonment area, Cox Town has a large Tamil population.

While the constituency has a large number of educational institutions, hospitals and commercial establishments, the infrastructural development has not kept pace with the population influx. The main problems raised by citizens in these wards include bad roads and poor drainage systems. HBR Layout is full of potholes, badly asphalted roads and irregular Cauvery water supply.

The lack of sanitary outlets in the layouts has also created problems, according to Muniraju N, Secretary of Hennur Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA). Even though sanitary connections have been provided from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board ( BWSSB), lack of outlets makes sanitary pipelines empty into open drains.

The constituency had 1,07,946 voters in 2008, which increased to 1,40,703 in 2013. Today, the total number of registered voters here is 3,34,473.

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

by November 6, 2026 Governance
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. In an earlier article, we broke down how local governance would change with the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act. Read it here. Two mega-cities, one playbook The…

SIR in Bengaluru: Disenfranchisement at a grand scale

by November 2, 2026 Governance
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). People were asked to prove that they live where they do, and map themselves or their parents/ancestors to the 2002 voter roll. The final roll published now has 4.54 Crore electors in Karnataka as against the 5.54 Cr as per the 2025 Special Summary Review; a reduction of almost one crore electors or 18% of the earlier rolls. However, the numbers in the 28 constituencies in Bengaluru Urban paint a more drastic picture. The 1.026 crore electors as per the…
