Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency: It’s a battle of prestige for Siddaramaiah in this backward region where his Assembly segment lies

The Hindu  

Like the Mysuru Lok Sabha seat, Chamarajanagar constituency is a prestigious one for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and winning both is seen as important for his leadership within the Congress, as the BJP and JD alliance has launched a no-holds-barred battle. The Varuna Assembly constituency that the Chief Minister represents falls in the Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency. T. Narasipur Assembly constituency that Dr. Mahadevappa represents also comes under the Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency. BJP’s first victory Considered a Congress stronghold, the BJP wrested the constituency from the party in 2019, with Mr. Prasad — who was forced to return to electoral politics under pressure after his rout in the byelection to the Nanjangud Assembly seat in 2017 — winning the seat.
