Days after the election body announced the election schedule for the southern state of Karnataka, the Congress Central Election Committee will meet on Tuesday in the nation’s capital to release the second list of candidates.

The meeting will be held at 10 am at the party headquarters. The Congress had earlier announced the list of candidates for 124 out of 224 Assembly constituencies, accroding to reports.

In its first list of candidates, the Congress gave Assembly election tickets to six women candidates and eight minority candidates in an effort to appeal to women voters as well as the state’s minority vote bank.

The names of former chief minister Siddaramaiah and the party’s state president DK Shivakumar feature in the first list of 124 candidates.

Siddaramaiah will compete in the Varuna district, and the party’s nominee for Kanakapura will be Shivakumar.Siddaramaiah had previously indicated interest in running for office from the Kolar constituency, but the Congress High Command ordered him to abandon the idea after disputes between the party’s local leaders in the district. M Roopakala, a candidate for the party in the Kolar Gold Field district, is running.
