The Congress on Saturday declared the first list of 124 candidates for the Karnataka elections fielding ex chief minister Siddaramaiah from Varuna and state chief DK Shivakumar from Kanakapura.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s son Priyank Kharge will contest from Chitapur reserved segment and former state minister MB Patil from Babaleshwar.

Ex-union minister KH Muniyappa has been fielded from Devanhalli SC seat.

The state has a 224-member assembly.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
