Karnataka polls: With 28 seats at stake, BJP, Congress look to change narrative in Bengaluru

There was a time when of the 224 assembly seats in the state, Bengaluru city had only 12 seats and Bengalureans felt they were neglected despite contributing economically. This changed post 2007, after the city corporation expanded coinciding with the delimitation exercise. The number of seats jumped to 28 in 2008, giving the city a legislative heft and significant place in various parties’ electoral arithmetic.
