Chikkamuni Mohan, known as PC Mohan is a veteran BJP leader and experienced Parliamentarian. He served as the party’s Treasurer and chief of OBC wing in Karnataka.

Currently, he is a Member of Parliamentary Committees on External Affairs and Urban Development. And as a member of the standing committee on Urban Development, PC Mohan”s role in advancing Bengaluru”s infrastructure and transportation issues including the expansion of Bengaluru Metro rail is significant.

Mohan was elected twice to the Karnataka Assembly from Bengaluru”s Chickpet constituency in 1999 and 2004. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Mohan defeated Congress nominee Rizwan Arshad by a margin of 1,37,500 votes. In the 2019 elections, BJP leader won the seat by defeating Rizwan Arshad by a margin of 70,968 votes.

In the past, Bangalore Central Constituency was won three times by the saffron party and five times by the grand old party. The constituency representing the heart of the city comprise eight assembly seats. Both Congress and BJP holds significant influence in the region, but by winning the constituency in the past three times, the latter manages to enjoys a considerable edge. However, there are chances that equations may have changed since grand old party secured a landslide victory in the Assembly elections held last year.
