It is also one of the major textile industries in the country, as well as having rich mineral reserves of bauxite and uranium. Belgaum is known as the “Rice Bowl” of the state of Karnataka, as it grows superior quality of rice, along with fish, poultry, vegetables and fruits.

Present Political Scenario:

BJP has reposed faith in the sitting MP Suresh Angadi, whereas Congress lacks serious candidates. So, this is again a seat that BJP cannot afford to lose.

The only X factor that should worry BJP is the shifting loyalties of Marathi voters and the direction the MES takes (Maharashtra Ekikaran Samithi), which has a sitting MLA in the constituency.
