Karnataka assembly elections: Here is the full list of JD(S) candidates

Karnataka will go to polls on May 10 and the results will be declared on May 13

Former CM of Karnataka, Kumaraswamy led JD(S) has fielded 148 candidates for the upcoming assembly polls and the party is aiming to play a key role in forming the government in the state. Though the JD(S) leaders are confident about forming the government on their own, both the Congress and the BJP have already claimed that they are distanced with the JD(S) and they do not want any alliances while coming to the power. In the past, HD Kumaraswamy has become the CM of Karnataka twice, once with support of the BJP and once by joining the hands with the Congress party. Both BJP and the Congress aimed to breach the Old Mysuru region, where the JD(S) party is prominently known for winning more seats.

This time, the third generation politician and grand son of former PM Devegowda, Nikhil Kumaraswamy is trying his luck in the state polls. He is contesting from the Ramanagara constituency, where his father Kumaraswamy won in the 2018 assembly polls. HD Kumaraswamy is contesting from the Channapatna constituency.

The party has fielded former Congress MLC Raghu Achar from Chitradurga. Former MLA Dr Bharathi Shankar will contest from Varuna and she will take on former CM and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah in Varuna. Dr Devaraj Patil who joined in the JD(S) from Congress got a ticket from the Bagalkot constituency. M N Muthappa is being fielded from Madikeri, the district headquarters town of Kodagu district and Amarashree from Moodbidri. The former minister A B Malaka Reddy is contesting from Yadgir.
