BENGALURU: A day after the BJP announced its first list of 72 candidates, the Congress screening committee on Monday cleared the names of ‘undisputed’ candidates for 130 constituencies for the upcoming Karnataka assembly elections.

“Names of candidates, including the sitting 122 legislators, who have no challengers in their constituencies have been cleared. The committee charted up undisputed candidates in the first round of screening,” said a party source to TNIE.

The committee considered second-generation ticket aspirants next. The two-day screening committee meeting will be followed by the Central Election Committee meet on Tuesday after which the Congress will release its candidate list for all 224 constituencies.

The screening committee headed by senior party leader Madhusudan Mistry met in New Delhi. The final draft of candidates for all 224 constituencies will be prepared by the committee that includes MPs Tamradhwaj Sahu and Gaurav Gogoi. The draft will be sent for final approval to the Central Election Committee headed by party president Rahul Gandhi.
