Bangalore South Assembly seat was created for the second time when the delimitation of seats was carried out in 2008. While there are four Lok Sabha seats with the name of the city 'Bangalore' in their title, Bangalore South is the only Assembly seat among dozens in the city boundary which has the word 'Bangalore' in its title.
