Khammam Lok Sabha constituency, Parliamentary constituency in Khammam district, India
Khammam Lok Sabha constituency is a parliamentary division in Andhra Pradesh covering seven assembly segments: Khammam, Palair, Madhira, Wyra, Sathupalli, Kothagudem, and Aswaraopeta. These regions together form an electoral area that includes both urban centers and rural communities.
The constituency was created in 1952 and became a stronghold of the Indian National Congress, which won twelve consecutive elections here over several decades. This long period of dominance shaped the region's political trajectory significantly.
The constituency encompasses a population distribution of 18.36 percent Scheduled Castes and 19.42 percent Scheduled Tribes, representing different social groups across urban and rural areas.
The constituency spans varied terrain including hilly and flat areas, which affects accessibility across different regions. The best time to visit these areas is outside the monsoon season, when roads remain passable and easier to navigate.
The region is known for its mineral wealth, particularly coal and other resources, which shape the local economy differently from purely agricultural constituencies nearby. This industrial foundation makes it economically distinct within the state.
