Hi Ravi, there are various options here, depending on what you want.
I am not aware of an official list of rural/urban constituencies as such. But booths are classified as either urban or rural, at least on the electoral rolls, and probably elsewhere, too. This could be used in a simple counting game to see where more than a certain threshold of the electorate votes in urban areas according to the official ECI definition. If you are less interested in the official definition, you could try a GIS-based alternative and overlay the polling booth point layer (http://dx.doi.org/10.4119/unibi/2674065) with the MODIS rural/urban polygon by NaturalEarth, which is quite accurate in terms of habitation pattern irrespective of their official designation (http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/50m-cultural-vectors/50m-urban-areas/).
