New Delhi: BJP on Tuesday declared the first list of candidates for Karnataka assembly polls, declaring names on 189 seats.

The candidates were announced at a press conference addressed by union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who is the party’s poll in-charge in Karnataka, and party general secretary Arun Singh.
