Congress on Thursday released its second list of 42 candidates for the upcoming Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections, which are scheduled for May 10.

Siddaramaiah expressed desire to contest Kolar seat
According to reports, the reason for the delay is to send a message through the party ranks that every constituency is equally important.
Notably, Congress released its first list of nominees on March 25 and allotted the Varuna Assembly seat to Siddaramaiah.
Later, in an interview with NDTV, he said that Kolar would be a safe seat for him.
