History of the constituency
editThe Cumbum constituency was first created for the Madras State Legislative Assembly in 1952.[3] It was dissolved in the 1955 elections due to the passing of the Delimitation Commission of 1952, which was created due to the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 1951.[4] Justice N Chandrasekhara Aiyar, a retired justice of the Supreme Court, was its chairman in 1953.[5] After the passing of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, it became a part of the new Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.[6][7] After the passing of the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 1976, its extent was the Cumbum and Ardhaveedu firkas in Giddalur taluk; and Podili taluk (excluding Podili and Marripudi firkas) and Thimmareddipalli firka in Kanigiri taluk.[2]
The Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 2008 abolished the constituency and hence was defunct as of the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[8]
Yerragondapalem Assembly constituency was newly formed as part of the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 2008 and active from the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[8] after dissolving the Cumbum Assembly Constituency
