About constituency

Shantinagar constituency is located in the heart of the city’s business and commerce district. There are a number of malls and traders here that contribute to the brisk business. The wards are Shanthi Nagar, Domlur, Jogupalya, Agaram, Vannerpat, Shanthala Nagar and Neelasandra.

As it is a well-known and high-revenue assembly segment, Shanthinagar is the centre of a lot of attention in the city. At the same time, there are other parts of the constituency that do not enjoy the basic civic amenities or facilities that are their right.

Razing of the EWS slum is  still an issue for some in the constituency, as alternatives have not been offered to the residents. There are still a number of residents on the streets, who call themselves refugees. Other issues include lack of proper waste disposal, treating parks and playgrounds as dumpyards and faulty drains. The constituency saw implementation of Bengaluru’s first garbage bin experiment, based on which the BBMP announced that more bins will be installed across the city.

Shanthinagar is a thickly populated area. A caste-based population analysis done in 2013 puts the number of Muslims in the region at 30,000; SC/STs at 72,000; Kurubas at 14,000 and Reddys as well as other communities at smaller percentages.

  • Number of voters in 2008: 81,420
  • Number of voters in 2013: 1,03,734
  • Number of voters registered now: 2,18,461

The real estate shift: How Karnataka’s proposed apartment law shortchanges homeowners

by September 12, 2026 Governance
Karnataka apartment owners may not get a fair share of their land as the KAOMA 2026 replaces value-based UDI with an area-only formula.

The Karnataka Apartment (Ownership and Management) Bill, 2026 (KAOMA) changes how a homeowner's share of the land is calculated — and the new formula gives the individual less than what the old law, that is the Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act, 1972 (KAOA), promised. The KAOMA Bill was passed by the Karnataka legislature in August, but is yet to receive assent from the Governor, who has sought clarifications on certain provisions. What is UDI and why does it matter? When you buy an apartment, you buy two things: The flat — a depreciating asset (buildings lose value over time). Your Undivided…

Big promises, unheard residents: Bengaluru’s new parking rules need a rethink

by August 26, 2026 Governance
The draft rules meant to manage road space demand end up expanding supply, outsourcing enforcement, and pricing residents out of their streets.

On August 11, the Urban Development Department quietly published the draft Greater Bengaluru Authority (Parking) Rules, 2026 — the legal framework  meant to give teeth to Bengaluru's much-discussed Parking Policy 2.0. Citizens have thirty days to send in objections. Yet, few will read all eighteen pages of the notification. Fewer still will notice that a law framed as a way to curb traffic demand is, on close reading, a plan to expand parking supply and hand over enforcement to private players, while leaving the ordinary resident worse off.  That gap between the promise and what’s on paper matters, because parking…
