The central committee of the BJP in Karnataka has chosen three candidates for each Assembly seat, according to party sources. These candidates will be presented to the Central Election Committee. The top leadership of the party will then discuss these names before finalizing the nominees.
The Congress released its list just two days back and many BJP turncoats received tickets from the grand old party. In its initial list of candidates, which the party unveiled last month, 124 names were included. Siddaramaiah will run from the Varuna district, and DK Shivakumar will be a candidate from Kanakapura. Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad has said that the party will release its third list after BJP releases its first.
In the last Assembly elections, the BJP formed the government by winning 104 seats, making it the single largest party, followed by the Congress with 80 seats and the JD(S) with 37 seats.
