Karnataka Assembly Polls: Congress Releases First List Of Candidates

Date:

Karnataka: The Congress party on Saturday announced the first list of candidates for the Karnataka assembly elections.

The names of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and State party president DK Shivakumar are included in the first list of 124 candidates.

Siddaramaiah will be contesting from the Varuna constituency while DK Shivakumar would be the candidate from Kanakapura.

Earlier, Siddaramaiah had expressed his interest to contest from the Kolar constituency but the Congress High Command instructed him to drop the plan following disagreements between the party’s local leaders in the constituency. The party has fielded M Roopakala from the Kolar Gold Field constituency.

DK Shivakumar, earlier, on March 6, talked up his party’s prospects in the upcoming elections, claiming that the ruling BJP would not be able to secure more than 65 seats.

Shivakumar claimed that all the people in his state, including farmers, were saying this.

“We have almost finalised 75 per cent of seat allotments. A decision on all seats will be taken soon after we will send the names of candidates to the high command for its approval,” he added.
