The Congress today declared the first list of 124 candidates for Karnataka elections fielding former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah from Varuna and state chief DK Shivakumar from Kanakapura.

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

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

The state has a 224-member Assembly. Karnataka is set to see a three-cornered fight between the ruling BJP, Congress and the JDS. The Election Commission of India is expected to announce the poll schedule in the next few days.

The first list mostly contains the seats represented by sitting MLAs and the constituencies for which only one name was recommended by the State unit.

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).
