Constituency profile

The Korba Lok Sabha constituency in Naxal-affected Chhattisgarh covers districts of Korba, Koriya and Bilaspur districts. 

The seat came into existence only in 2008 after delimitation exercise and the first election was held in 2009. The Congress and the BJP have held the seat once each. While Congress' Charan Das Mahant won from here in 2009, Banshilal Mahto of the BJP won in 2014. 

However, Mahto has not been fielded by the BJP as the party decided to not repeat candidates in any of the 11 seats in the state. 

Janjgir-Champa Lok Sabha constituency comprises eight legislative assembly segments: Bharatpur-Sonhat, Manendragarh and Baikunthpur constituencies in Koriya district; Rampur, Korba, Katghora and Pali-Tanakhar in Korba district and Marwahi assembly segment in Bilaspur district.
