The election will be held for all 224 assembly constituencies. The election Model Code of conduct will be implemented from today (March 29).
The Congress party announced its first list of 124 candidates on March 25. Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will contest from Varuna and Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar will contest from Kanakapura constituency.
Siddaramaiah said this would be his last election and after this, he will stay away from electoral politics. He said he is the son of the Varuna constituency and that is why he will contest from there. However, he added, "But the people of Kolar have shown me love and asked me to enter the contest from there as well. So I have asked the party high command to get a ticket from Kolar also."
