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.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
