Shivamogga, Mar 4: Even though BJP National President Amit Shah has said that the list of final candidates to contest elections from the different constituencies of Karnataka will be released after the internal party survey, BJP state chief B S Yeddyurappa continues to announce names.

Expressing his displeasure, opposition leader in Legislative Council K S Eshwarappa has made it clear that Yeddyurappa’s announcement of candidate names in some constituencies is not valid. Even in Shivamogga urban constituency, the candidate is yet to be finalized.

Speaking to the media persons in Shivamogga on March 3, he said the reporters should question Yeddyurappa on why he announces candidate names when the list is not yet finalized.

The survey is still in progress.The names of candidates in 224 constituencies will be released by the party high command, Eshwarappa confirmed.

BJP will organise a convention of backward classes on March 10 at Kudalasangama, Bagalkot, and at Kaginele in Haveri on March 25, he informed.
