K R Puram, the largest constituency in the city (with an electorate of 3.08 lakh), lacks basic amenities like drinking water, garbage disposal and street lights.
For Nanjundaiah, a fruit vendor at the K R Puram junction, the forthcoming Assembly election is hardly a matter of concern. “Elections come and go. But our problems remain the same. Politicians promise to resolve them only when they come to seek our votes,” he says.His main concern is the chaotic traffic at K R Puram junction, where his stall is located. “I have witnessed so many accidents at this circle in the past ten years. There is no policem
an to man the traffic here and people find it so difficult to cross the road. Can’t the authorities construct a pedestrian subway here, or at least depute a policeman to monitor the traffic?” he asks.K R Puram, the largest constituency in the city (with an electorate of 3.08 lakh), lacks basic amenities like drinking water, garbage disposal and street lights. “Except for the main road, not a single road in the interior areas is asphalted,” A V Shama Rao, a resident of Ramamurthynagar, said.

This constituency - which comprises 35 wards of the erstwhile K R Puram CMC, nine wards of Mahadevapura and three village panchayats of Horamavu, K Narayanpura and Agara - needs more development work than that required in a village, feel the residents.Congress contender A Krishnappa says, besides, lack of funds and improper planning by erstwhile CMC authorities are also responsible for this. The ro
ads were designed years ago to carry normal traffic. Now the traffic has increased ten-fold and the population has gone up drastically. I will take up all these issues after I come to power. L Muniswamy, the JD(S) candidate, promises the same. “All these years I have experienced problems.” B T Naganna, Lok Paritran candidate, claims he has studied the constituency for the last one year. BJP candidate, Nandish Reddy, who resides in Nakkundi of Mahadevapura constituency, has put up an election office near M M Choultry in K R Puram.
