The Shirur Lok Sabha constituency is a relatively recent addition to India's electoral map, having been established in 2008. This creation was part of a larger nationwide delimitation exercise, which aimed to redraw constituency boundaries to reflect population changes and ensure equitable representation. Before 2008, the specific geographical area now encompassed by Shirur was part of other constituencies, making its electoral history distinct from older parliamentary seats.
Regional Significance
Located within the Pune district, Shirur holds strategic importance in Maharashtra's political landscape. Pune district is a significant economic and cultural hub, and the electoral dynamics within its constituencies often reflect broader trends and shifts in state and national politics. The formation of Shirur as a new constituency, alongside another in Pune district, underscored the region's growing population and political weight.
