The Janata Dal (Secular) took everyone by surprise on Saturday, Feb 17, by announcing candidates for 126 Assembly seats even before the election schedule for Karnataka is announced by the poll panel.
The list was made public on the same day that the JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda addressed an election rally with BSP chief Mayawati in Bengaluru, indicating that a seat sharing formula has been worked out.
The first list, however, features names only from the JD(S). Its alliance partners BSP and NCP are likely to be accommodated in the second list as the JD(S) will only contest from 58 of the remaining 98 seats. Karnataka Assembly has 224 seats.
Many of the sitting MLAs figure in the list of 126 candidates, including N H Konareddi (Navalgund), Madhu Bangarappa (Soraba), YSV Datta (Kadur). JD(S) State President H D Kumaraswamy (Ramanagar) and his brother H D Revanna (Holenarasipura) and MLC C R Manohar also figure in the first list.
Prominent among those who switched over to the JD(S) from other parties recently and have managed to get the ticket include former ministers Anand Asnotikar (Karwar), H Vishwanath (Hunsur) and Ravindra Srikantaiah (Srirangapatna).
Former vice-chancellor of University of Mysore K S Rangappa, who joined the JD(S) recently, has been given the ticket for Chamaraja seat. Sitting Mandya MP C S Puttaraju will contest from Melkote. Only four women figure in the first list.
All 126 candidates were administered oath by senior MLC Basavaraj Horatti.
