Karnataka elections 2018: Probable list of BJP candidates that's doing rounds on WhatsApp

Karnataka Assembly Elections 2018 is round the corner. The Election Commission has not declared the schedule for assembly polls, but political parties are frantically exploring all options to grab the maximum number of seats.

Janata Dal (Secular) has already released the list of 126 candidates. The full list is likely to be released after Ugadi. The first list, however, features names only from the JD(S). Its alliance partners BSP and NCP are likely to be accommodated in the second list as the JD(S) will only contest from 58 of the remaining 98 seats.

While the Congress and the BJP are still struggling to scrutinise aspirant's application, a list of candidates has already gone viral on social media.

Earlier, a list of candidates for the 80 constituencies of the Congress went viral on social media. However, the party had not reacted to the issue.

Similarly, the list of 40 candidates for the BJP in January was viral on the social networking site. Now the list of district wise candidates is doing rounds in the Whats App groups.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to release the list of candidates ahead of 2018 Karnataka assembly elections. BJP will finalise the name of the candidates after three rounds of the survey.

The term of the 224-member Karnataka assembly ends in May. The BJP wants to wrest power from the Congress which rules the state now.

Note: These are the candidates name doing rounds in the social media, not officially declared by the party. BJP leaders have refused to comment on the viral names.
Here is the list of district-wise probable BJP candidates doing rounds on social media.
