India, Jan. 23 -- Unfortunately, we do not have latest population data to establish this fact with certainty. The last census (2011) is now 14 years old, and a lot has changed in the city in this period. However, one can try and answer this question by looking at the growth in number of electors at the AC level between 2008 and 2025. Because delimitation changed AC boundaries in 2008, it is not possible to track this change in the pre-2008 period.
The heat-map of change in electors across ACs is similar to the one of growth in settled area in the earlier section. The logic is simple. As the city expanded, largely on account of migration, migrants eventually became voters and added to the overall count.
