Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said with the first list has been released, candidates in the constituency are expected to work for the party and not relax.

He further warned that if the candidates do not work as per the party's instructions or go against the party, the names of such candidates would be changed.

HD Kumaraswamy will contest the polls from Channapatna Assembly constituency while his son Nikhil Kumaraswamy has been fielded from Ramanagara constituency. CM Fayaz, son of JDS State President CM Ibrahim, has also been given the ticket from Humnabad.

GT Deve Gowda, the Chamundeshwari MLA has also been given a ticket thus ending the speculation that he will leave the party.

224-seat Karnataka Assembly will go to polls in 2023.

In the 2018 Assembly polls, BJP emerged as the single largest party with 104 seats but was short of a majority. Congress won 78 seats while JDS managed to get 37 seats. JDS in alliance with Congress formed a government and Kumaraswamy was appointed as the chief minister. However, the JDS-Congress government fell a year later and BJP formed the government.
