Karnataka Assembly Elections Anti-Incumbency Evident In Mangaluru North Constituency

The Mangaluru North Constituency, erstwhile Surathkal constituency was formed after carving out certain pockets of Moodabidri and Bantwal in 2007 and is one of the high profile constituencies of the region as it is home to several big industries. Since 1987, both the Indian National Congress and the BJP have had equal share of victories in their kitty. However, BJP had a strong hold from 2004-08 with BJP’s Krishna J Palemar winning over the constituency for two terms and later becoming a minister in the state cabinet. The now infamous porn-gate controversy surrounding Palemar largely contributed to his defeat and a legislative green horn Moideen Bava was elected by the voters of the constituency in 2013.

In the year 2013, Mangaluru North Constituency had 198365 total voters - 96994 male and 101367 female voters. Of this, 145853 people cast their votes presenting a 73.53% turn out in the 2013 legislative assembly elections.

Mixed response

People in the Mangaluru North Constituency have come up with mixed responses on the performance of the incumbent MLA Moideen Bava, though a majority of whom expressed dissatisfaction over his performance. A dialogue with the constituents has a common refrain the first time MLA lacks vision!

The Cauvery dilemma

Both north and south Karnataka are in a tizzy over water. North Karnataka over the utilisation of waters of the Mahadayi River (see article on Page 24) and South Karnataka over the utilization of the Cauvery River. This is probably the result of a skewed discourse which is framed by the limited terms of water availability. It’s an I win you lose kind of discourse - water allocated to one state is the loss of another, and the water that reaches the sea is a waste. Is there a way to deal with these disputes other than the legal? Prabhu Mallikarjunan traces the history and outcome of the dispute and puts forth the farmer’s perspective.
