Channasandra]], Kalkere, Horamavu and Chalkere, that were included within the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike limits when the Greater Bangalore area was formed, are also part of this constituency.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/kr-puram-has-the-largest-number-of-voters/article1236651.ece K R Pura Assembly Details]</ref>

People say Mysuru Maharaja [[Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV|Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar]] used to visit the city frequently and also check on the progress of the area. The Krishnarajapura Market has a history of 150 years.

The cable bridge on the junction of Old [[Madras]] Road and Outer Ring Road has been declared the most outstanding national bridge by the Indian Institution of Bridge Engineers. The 230- meter bridge, including the 180-meter cable stayed portion was constructed by South Western Railway. The bridge was inaugurated on 26 January 2003 by former Prime Minister [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee|Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee]].

The area has its own set of problems. Traffic congestion, sewage disposal issues, lack of storm-water drains and bad roads are common complaints.<ref>{{cite web | url =http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/K-R-Puram-Where-Two-Worlds-Meet/2015/08/15/article2975333.ece| title = K R Pura: Where Two Worlds Meet}}</ref>
