However, with RR Nagar suffering from typical developmental and civic issues, it remains to be seen if voters will go by candidates’ merit or be swayed by caste equations. With the constituency having around one lakh Vokkaliga voters, caste has been a factor in political parties’ selection of candidates as well as campaigning. The constituency is also a hub of educational institutions. RR Nagar is one of the four largest assembly sections in Bengaluru, with 4.6 lakh voters this by-election. The constituency is made up of nine wards – Jalahalli, Rajarajeshwarinagar, Jnana Bharati, Kottegepalya, Laggere, HMT ward, Lakshmidevi nagar, JP Park and Yeshwanthpura. He’s contesting as the BJP candidate this time. The election results will be announced on November 10. Munirathna was elected from the Congress in 2018, but defected to the BJP in mid-2019. The bypoll was necessitated by incumbent MLA Munirathna N’s disqualification, for violating the anti-defection law. On November 3, Rajarajeshwari Nagar assembly constituency will go into bypolls.
