There were 7 parliamentary constituencies for the 4 districts including our Belgaum North and Belgaum south.  All those seats were of the Congress.
In 1956 after the states reorganization was done these 4 districts came under Mysore state and first elections were held in 1957 for Belgaum as a constituency.
