Kuchinapudi Assembly constituency was a constituency of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, India[1] in Guntur district. It was abolished by the 2008 delimitation.

History of the constituency

[edit]

After the passing of the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Act, 1952, the Kuchinapudi constituency was first created for the Andhra state Legislative Assembly in 1955.[2] It's extent was Repalle taluk (excluding Repalle and Cherukupalli firkas). After the passing of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, it became a part of the new Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.[3] There is no change in the extent of constituency according to the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Act, 1962. After the passing of the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Act, 1976, its extent was the Kuchinapudi firka (excluding any area included in Repalle municipality) and Chodayapalem, Pedamatlapudi and Dhulipudi firkas in Repalle taluk.[4]

It was not present in the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 2008 and hence was defunct as of the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[5]
