The Travancore Legislative council came into existence in 1886 as a result of a positive response from the rulers of Travancore to the political aspirations of the people of the state. The Travancore Legislative council is believed to be the first institution of its kind to have been formed in any native state. This body together with the Sree Moolam Popular Assembly of Travancore conferred an opportunity on the people to bring their grievances to the notice of the state. In 1932, the Popular Assembly and the Legislative Council were formally converted into two chambers of the legislature with elections from general and special constituencies to the Assembly. After the Indian Independence , the states of Travancore and Cochin merged in 1949 and the integrated state came to have a new legislative assembly drawn from both segments. In 1956, with the merger of (Travancore - Cochin) and Malabar, a new State known as Kerala was formed and the present Kerala Legislative Assembly came into existence after passing through various stages. The Legislative bodies in Kerala completed 100 years on 30 March 1988. Kanjirapally was well represented in the Legislative Assembly.
