How Has Greater Bengaluru Voted?

The BJP has won four seats in Bengaluru, Karnataka which has the highest number of constituencies in the state.

The Congress on the other hand bagged three as of now.

The BJP has won in Malleshwaram, Rajajinagar, Chickpet and Basavangudi. The Congress on the other hand bagged Saravanagar, Chamrajpet and Shivajinagar.

Meanwhile the Congress is leading in Jayanagar, BTM Layout, while the BJP is ahead in Padmanabhnagar. In Basavanagudi, the competition is tight, while in Chickpet the BJP is ahead. In Chamrajpet, the Congress is ahead at the time of writing this copy.

In Vijaynagar the BJP is ahead, while the case is the same in Govidraj Nagar. The BJP is also ahead in Rajajinagar and Gandhinagar. The same is the case in Shanthi Nagar.

In C V Raman Nagar, the BJP is ahead.

In the 2018 elections, the BJP bagged 11 of the 32 seats in this region which is referred to as Greater Bengaluru. The Congress did exceptionally well here in 2018 and bagged 17 seats, while the JD(S) ended up with four.

This time around the final leg of the campaign by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Bengaluru. The BJP had high hopes on this campaign and for now it appears that the BJP is doing better here.

In Bengaluru the voting has largely been on development and the popularity of the PM.

Bengaluru is an important component for any party as any government that is in power faces a tough challenge to manage the city, which is known as the Silicon Capital of India.

The Congress announced as it began its campaign that it would provide limited free electricity to the people if voted to power. The BJP on the other hand had promised free cooking gas and daily essentials.

Governing the capital of the state is a matter of prestige for any party. While Bengaluru is set to overtake Delhi to become the second-highest generator of income tax revenues after Mumbai, no party has however announced any plans to develop the city.
