Krishnagiri Constituency: The Krishnagiri Lok Sabha constituency has to its credit many specialities such as, the much contentious Cauvery River entering the State at Biligundlu, substantial mineral (granite) wealth and the hub of horticulture and floriculture products.
Bordering Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, the influence of linguistic minorities such as 'Vokkaligas,' 'Lingayats,' from Karnataka and the 'Reddys' from Andhra Pradesh hold the key in three Assembly segments of Thally, Hosur and Veppanahalli. The other dominant communities are the OBC 'Vanniyars' who form 20 per cent of the electorate, the Dalits (16 per cent) and 'Vellalars' (11.5 percent).
