Bangalore: With around 70 urban assembly constituencies in Karnataka, political parties are going all out to woo the urban middle class in Karnataka assembly polls 2013.

The 70 seats comprise a little less than one-third of the total strength of the legislative assembly. The number of urban seats increased after the delimitation exercise in 2008, giving the city dwellers a decisive say in the elections.

Going by the serious drubbing the BJP received in the recent urban body polls, the Congress would surely be confident of winning the majority of the urban seats.

Importantly, Bangalore holds the key as 28 of the 70 urban constituencies are in Bangalore city.

Going by the serious drubbing the BJP received in the recent urban body polls, the Congress cannot dream of winning since the BSP did not contest and the ELEPHANT symbol was not allotted to any candidate. Now BSP along with SDPI and former Chairman Backward Class Commission will win for bringing change for the peace,welfare and happiness of the entire people including SC/ST/OBC/minorities and poor upper caste by distributing the wealth of the state equally among all sections of the society as enshrined in the Constitution while the Congress and the BJP are for the benefit of the corporates which has increased the inflation and denied proper drinking water supply and no power supply. Slums were demolished to benefit the rich which is in human.
