Bengaluru: In preparation for the upcoming Karnataka assembly elections, the Congress released its preliminary list of 124 candidates on Saturday. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will contest from his Varuna seat.

The list states that the leader of the Pradesh Congress Committee, DK Shivakumar, will run for office from the Kanakapura assembly district.

The party has fielded former deputy chief minister G Parameshwara from the Koratagere (SC) constituency. Former ministers KH Muniappa and Priyank Kharge will contest from Devanahalli and Chitapur (SC), respectively. Priyank is the son of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge.

The party's central election committee cleared the first list of candidates after a meeting in Delhi on March 17. The committee is chaired by Congress chief Kharge. Rahul Gandhi was also present at the meeting.

The Congress is the first party to release its candidates' list for the elections in Karnataka. The Election Commission is yet to announce the schedule for assembly polls in the southern state.

Assembly polls in Karnataka are slated before May when the tenure of the current assembly ends.
