Savadi fielded from Athani, Siddaramaiah won’t contest from Kolar

Congress on Saturday released its third list of 43 candidates for the upcoming Karnataka polls in May. Former Deputy CM Laxman Savadi was given a ticket from the Athani seat. Notably, Savadi had quit BJP earlier after being denied a ticket from Athani. Furthermore, ex-CM Siddaramaiah was denied a second ticket from Kolar, meaning he will contest from Varuna alone.
