In the 14th century, this region of Gulbarga was made the capital of the Bahamani Sultans, after a revolt took place against the Delhi Sultanate. Economically backward as this district is, it is being funded under the Government of India’s special schemes such as the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme.

Present Political Scenario:

Only a matter what would be the victory margin for Congress

BJP has re-nominated ex animal husbandry minister, Revu Naik Belamagi for this SC reserved constituency. Not only had he lost this seat in the 2009 LS elections when Karnataka (unlike India) was in a strong BJP wave, but also he had lost the assembly elections in May last year.

 Congress has the towering Dalit leader and union Railway minister, Mallikarjun Kharge, re-contesting the seat and the only question now is what would be Congress’s victory margin – by all counts it  could be closer to a lakh.
