It is spread across Sattupalli, Penuballi, Kallur, Tallada and Vemsoor mandals.
TDP won the assembly seat five times and Congress four times since 1978. R&B Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao represented it thrice. The Constituency has been witnessing rapid industrial development in view of coal mining activity by the SCCL, besides abundant oil palm plantations.
