'''Bengaluru North Lok Sabha constituency (Krishnaraja Pura Lok Sabha constituency)''' is one of the 28 [[Lok Sabha]] (lower house of the Indian Parliament) constituencies in the [[South Indian]] state of [[Karnataka]].  This constituency has been known by different names in its history. For the 1951 and every election since 1977 it has been known as Bengaluru North. For the 1957 and 1962 elections it was known as Bengaluru City. For the 1967 and 1971 elections it formed a constituency jointly with [[Bangalore South (Lok Sabha constituency)|Bengaluru South]] and was known as Bengaluru. From 1951–73, this constituency resided in [[Mysore State|Mysuru State]]. On 1 November 1973, Mysuru State was renamed as Karnataka.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/2005/12/13/stories/2005121310910100.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20141018190525/http://www.thehindu.com/2005/12/13/stories/2005121310910100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 October 2014|title=A fashionable city catches up with a nationwide trend|work=[[The Hindu]]|publisher=[[The Hindu Group]]|date=13 December 2005|access-date=17 October 2014}}</ref>
 
Bengaluru North held its first elections in 1951 and its first member of parliament (MP) was Keshava Iyengar of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC). He was re-elected in the next election in 1957. [[K. Hanumanthaiya]] also of the INC represented this constituency for three consecutive terms from 1962 to 1977. [[C. K. Jaffer Sharief]] of the INC was its MP for five consecutive terms from 1977–1996 before being denied ticket in the 1996 election. [[C. Narayanaswamy]] of the [[Janata Dal]] party defeated Mohammed Obedulla Sharief.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.elections.in/parliamentary-constituencies/1996-election-results.html|title=1996 India General (11th Lok Sabha) Elections Results|website=www.elections.in}}</ref>
 
This brought to an end a 45-year period where this constituency had been represented by a member of the INC from 1951–96. Sharief became the MP once again in 1998. He was also re-elected in 1999 to serve his seventh term as MP for this constituency.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/election/1999/oct/07kin.htm|title=Kith and kin battle for mantle|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=7 October 1999|access-date=9 October 2014}}</ref> [[H. T. Sangliana]] of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) represented this constituency in 2004. D. B. Chandre Gowda also of the BJP was elected in the 2009 election. As of the latest elections in 2019, its current MP is [[D. V. Sadananda Gowda]] of the BJP who was also the incumbent [[Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers]]. Of the 17 elections held in this constituency, the most successful party is the INC who have won on 12 occasions.

Bengaluru North Lok Sabha constituency (Krishnaraja Pura Lok Sabha constituency) is one of the 28 Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian Parliament) constituencies in the South Indian state of Karnataka. This constituency has been known by different names in its history. For the 1951 and every election since 1977 it has been known as Bengaluru North. For the 1957 and 1962 elections it was known as Bengaluru City. For the 1967 and 1971 elections it formed a constituency jointly with Bengaluru South and was known as Bengaluru. From 1951–73, this constituency resided in Mysuru State. On 1 November 1973, Mysuru State was renamed as Karnataka.[2]

Bengaluru North held its first elections in 1951 and its first member of parliament (MP) was Keshava Iyengar of the Indian National Congress (INC). He was re-elected in the next election in 1957. K. Hanumanthaiya also of the INC represented this constituency for three consecutive terms from 1962 to 1977. C. K. Jaffer Sharief of the INC was its MP for five consecutive terms from 1977–1996 before being denied ticket in the 1996 election. C. Narayanaswamy of the Janata Dal party defeated Mohammed Obedulla Sharief.[3]

This brought to an end a 45-year period where this constituency had been represented by a member of the INC from 1951–96. Sharief became the MP once again in 1998. He was also re-elected in 1999 to serve his seventh term as MP for this constituency.[4] H. T. Sangliana of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) represented this constituency in 2004. D. B. Chandre Gowda also of the BJP was elected in the 2009 election. As of the latest elections in 2019, its current MP is D. V. Sadananda Gowda of the BJP who was also the incumbent Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers. Of the 17 elections held in this constituency, the most successful party is the INC who have won on 12 occasions.
