Chikkaballapur Lok Sabha seat, comprising both urban and rural areas, faces persistent water issues that have yet to be resolved by past representatives. Congress and BJP candidates, MS Raksha Ramaiah and Dr. K Sudhakar, respectively, promise to address these issues. JD(S) support, traditionally against Congress, might shift to BJP. While some voters appreciate government schemes, others, like Pravalika S, are concerned about their economic impact. Caste dynamics and candidates' ability to resolve the water crisis are key factors influencing voter decisions in this constituency.
