Karnataka Election 2023: Siddaramaiah finally announced his contest constituency

An air of suspense grips the netas and workers of the Congress party in Karnataka on the eve of Chaandramana Ugadi, considered an auspicious occasion, falling on Wednesday. Karnataka Election 2023: Siddaramaiah finally announced his contest constituency.

The Congress high command is all set to release its first list of 125 candidates to contest the Karnataka Election 2023, but there is apprehension that “a major glitch” that has cropped up may delay the announcement. Speaking to reporters today, Siddaramaiah said anything can happen in state politics, in this election I want to contest in Badami, Kolar, Varuna constituency.

He has not given away the secret of his constituency by saying that party high command will decide. I will discuss this with seniors and take a decision, the list of Congress candidates will be released tomorrow. Former CM Siddaramaiah said that the decision of elders is final, I will win in any constituency, the number of people inviting me to contest their constituency.

Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday claimed that the Congress high command had cleared the name of his son Yathindra as the party candidate from Varuna Assembly segment in Mysuru in the upcoming polls. However, he did little to clear the suspense over the choice for the constituency from which he would contest.

Speaking to reporters at the airport in Mysuru on Tuesday, Mr. Siddaramaiah did not rule out his candidature from Varuna even as he claimed that name of Yathindra had been approved by the high command. He said the high command had approved Congress ticket for constituencies from where they were only single applicants.

Hence, Mr. Yathindra’s name had been cleared for Varuna, he said. However, when asked if there was a possibility of his entry into the fray in Varuna, Mr. Siddaramaiah said nothing can be ruled out in politics. He identified Badami, Kolar, and Varuna Assembly segments among the options before him.
