Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Sunday said the second list of candidates for the 10 May Karnataka Assembly polls is likely to be announced after the crucial party meet on 4 April.
Reiterating that the party high command has to take a call regarding his contesting from the second constituency of Kolar, the former Chief Minister said, it may be decided at the party’s Central Election Committee meeting on 4 April. “Day-after-tomorrow there is a Central Election Committee meeting, after the meeting the second list will be released,” Siddaramaiah said. Responding to a reporter’s question about him contesting from Kolar too, he said, “it has to be decided by the high command, they will decide day-after-tomorrow.” Congress had already announced its first list of 124 candidates on 25 March, and is yet to announce the candidates for 100 more segments.
