No candidate for Mangaluru North from Congress even as party releases 4th list of candidates
Mangaluru: The announcement of the Congress candidate for the Mangaluru North Constituency remained elusive even as the party announced its fourth list of candidates on Tuesday evening.
Candidates for seven constituencies were announced on Tuesday wherein the candidate for one of the most anticipated constituencies – Mangaluru North – was not announced.
Interestingly, only two days are remaining for the process of filing nominations as the last date for the nomination filing process is on April 20. The Congress has announced candidates for 7 out of 8 constituencies in the district while across the state it has announced candidates for 216 candidates out of 224 constituencies.
The party is yet to announce candidates in eight constituencies including Mangaluru North.
The race for the Congress party ticket for the Mangaluru North Constituency in Karnataka is heating up as KPCC General Secretary Inayat Ali and former MLA Moidin Bawa are both vying for the coveted ticket. Although it is unclear who will ultimately receive the ticket.
Both Ali and Bawa are reportedly confident that they have a strong chance of securing the ticket. According to party sources, no other candidates are being considered for the ticket, and the final Congress list, which is set to be released on Wednesday, will confirm the chosen candidate.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
