The ‘settler’ component has come to be an important factor which could determine the representation in certain constituencies in peripheral parts of Hyderabad city, after formation of Telangana as a separate State. One such key constituency is Lal Bahadur Nagar, known commonly as L.B. Nagar.
It is the third largest constituency in the Greater Hyderabad area and fourth in the whole State in terms of number of voters.
One of the seven Assembly segments of the Malkajgiri parliamentary constituency, L.B. Nagar has over 5.93 lakh voters, a majority of them below 50 years of age. Considering that the voter strength has grown by 48% from just over 4 lakh last elections, the constituency seems to have undergone vigorous phase of voter enrolment this time.
