This part-coastal, part-hilly constituency faces a diverse range of issues

The electorate is spread across two markedly different geographical areas in the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency — the coastal belt and the hilly terrain — almost in equal numbers. The issues that concern them too are quite different. The Lok Sabha constituency is set to witness a stiff fight between two political stalwarts, Kota Srinivas Poojary from the BJP and K. Jayaprakash Hegde from the Congress.
