==History of the constituency==
Post independence Bangalore south constituency used to come under Mysore state. Mysore state was a state within the [[Dominion of India|Union of India]] from 1947 until 1956. [[T. Madiah Gowda]], freedom fighter, a lawyer by profession won in [[1st Lok Sabha|1st lok sabha]] election from Bangalore south constituency.

As a result of the [[States Reorganisation Act]] on 1 November 1956 few constituencies were added to Karnataka state and Bangalore north and Bangalore south constituencies were merged to make Bangalore constituency. [[H. C. Dasappa|H.C Dasappa]] got elected from Bangalore constituency from 1957 to 1962. He also served as the [[Minister of Railways (India)|Railway Minister of India]] under [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] [[Fourth Nehru ministry|in 1963-64]]. Later former Chief Minister [[K. Hanumanthaiah|Kengal Hanumanthiah]] won this constituency three consecutive times.

Post Emergency and reorganization of constituencies across the country, this Lok Sabha seat came into existence as Bangalore South in 1977. Since then this constituency has gone to the polls 12 times. BJP has won 8 times, Janata Party 3 times and Congress just once. [[BJP]] leader [[Ananth Kumar]]<ref name="ananthkumar">{{cite web |first=Rohini|last=Swamy|title=Ananth Kumar, a skillful administrator and a political heavyweight|url=https://theprint.in/politics/ananth-kumar-a-skillful-administrator-and-a-political-heavyweight/148224/|website=print.in| access-date=2020-05-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504135101/https://theprint.in/politics/ananth-kumar-a-skillful-administrator-and-a-political-heavyweight/148224/| archive-date=2019-05-04}}</ref> won 6 consecutive terms from this constituency.

He was a former judge of the Supreme Court who resigned in the mid 70's when he and 2 other judges were superseded in the Supreme Court, apparently for their past judgments against the government of the day.<ref name="Hegde">{{cite web |title=Tribute to K S Hegde|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515163343/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QIplAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nZ4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=2396%2C2983366 |website=google.co.in|publisher=indianexpress| access-date=2020-05-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515163343/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QIplAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nZ4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=2396%2C2983366 | archive-date=2020-05-15}}</ref> This was the only seat other than [[Hassan (Lok Sabha constituency)|Hassan]] won by the Janata party in Karnataka.

In 1980, [[T. R. Shamanna]],<ref>{{cite web |title=A short biography of T. R.

In 1984, [[V. S. Krishna Iyer]] won the elections. The elections were necessitated due to the murder of [[Indira Gandhi]] sitting Prime Minister. [[Rajiv Gandhi]] called for elections and Congress went on to win a landslide. V. S. Krishna Iyer,<ref>{{cite web |title=A short biography of V. S.

S. Krishna Iyer. This is the only time that Congress has won the elections in this constituency.

1991 elections were necessitated when the [[Chandra Shekhar]] led government fell and elections were called. BJP fielded noted economist K Venkatagiri Gowda.<ref>{{cite web |title=A short biography of K Venkatagiri Gowda|url=http://loksabhaph.nic.in/writereaddata/biodata_1_12/3503.htm|website=loksabhaph.nic.in|publisher=loksabha| access-date=2020-05-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515182322/http://loksabhaph.nic.in/writereaddata/biodata_1_12/3503.htm | archive-date=2020-05-15}}</ref> He defeated the incumbent MP R. Gundu Rao and thus BJP won the elections for the 1st time in Bangalore South. BJP won 4 seats in this elections from Karnataka.

In 1996, BJP fielded an young candidate [[Ananth Kumar]]<ref>{{cite web |title=A short biography of H N Ananth Kumar|url=http://loksabhaph.nic.in/Members/MemberBioprofile.aspx?mpsno=20&lastls=16|website=loksabhaph.nic.in|publisher=loksabha| access-date=2020-05-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515182050/http://loksabhaph.nic.in/Members/MemberBioprofile.aspx?mpsno=20&lastls=16 | archive-date=2020-05-15}}</ref> who won the elections against Varalakshmi Gundu Rao, wife of R Gundu Rao.<ref name="ananthkumar"/> He went on to win 5 consecutive elections. Interestingly all his nearest opponents were different candidates but they were all from Congress. Till the rise of Ananth Kumar the seat was won by legal luminaries, freedom fighters, Chief Minister and senior Economists. Ananth Kumar went on to become one of the most powerful and influential politicians from Karnataka, serving both the [[Premiership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee|Vajpayee government]] and the [[Premiership of Narendra Modi|Modi government]] in multiple capacities.

Anand Kumar succumbed to cancer in 2018 during the course of the [[16th Lok Sabha]],<ref name="ananthkumar"/> and in 2019, BJP was forced to field a new face due to his untimely death. [[Tejasvi Surya]]<ref>{{cite web |title=A short biography of Tejasvi Surya|url=http://loksabhaph.nic.in/Members/MemberBioprofile.aspx?mpsno=5182&lastls=17|website=loksabhaph.nic.in|publisher=loksabha| access-date=2020-05-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515181927/http://loksabhaph.nic.in/Members/MemberBioprofile.aspx?mpsno=5182&lastls=17 | archive-date=2020-05-15}}</ref> went on to win with over 3.3 lakh votes and at the age of 29 became one of the youngest MPs in the [[17th Lok Sabha]].
