S T Somashekar, the first-term MLA, is a BSc graduate who represents the Yeshwanthpur constituency from Congress. He is said to be a close confidant of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and media reports state that it was he ensured that the Congress BBMP councillors in 2015 and Congress MLAs 2016 were not poached by the opposition during the Mayoral Elections and Rajya Sabha Polls respectively.

The constituency largely depends on borewells for its water supply which remains a problem.
