In the first-ever elections in 1951, the district was part of the South Kanara South constituency. It came to be known as Mangalore in the 1957  Lok Sabha polls and as Dakshina Kannada after delimitation of constituencies in 2008.

A qualitative assessment of the victory margin, however, reveals that the most convincing triumph in the constituency was recorded by K.K. Shetty (Congress) over C.M. Poonacha (Congress-O) in 1971. Of the 3.18 lakh votes polled, Mr. Shetty had bagged 2.06 lakh votes compared to his rival’s tally of 84,286. Thus, he polled nearly two-and-half times (2.44 times to be precise) more votes than Mr. Poonacha.

The next most convincing victory was recorded by Mr. Poojary in 1980. The Congress veteran (2.49 lakh votes) had got a little over twice the votes of his near rival Karambally Sanjeeva Shetty (1.20 lakh votes) of the Janata Party.

Mr. Kateel has to be credited for increasing his victory margin against Mithun Rai by 2 times, compared to the 2014 elections.

BJP  celebrates: The mood at BJP office near PVS is elated..  Many BJP workers even burst crackers  near Bunts Hostel and also in front of the Congress office at Mallikatta.

On the  sterling performance of his party at the national level, Nalin said "People have backed the  five year governance of Modi Government and have accepted that Modi is the most capable leader for the progress and security of the nation."

I voted for Modi, not for Nalin. But Mr Nalin, you better perform this term. Your non active role is pretty irritating and the public may not be very keen next term if you do not contribute. Stop the lethargy and get moving. Look at our water situation first!!!!
