Bengaluru: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will release the first list of candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Karnataka on Monday, March 20.

The announcement was made by the state unit president Prithvi Reddy after participating in a grand yatra organized on behalf of AAP candidate Suresh Rathore in Pulakeshi Nagar, Bengaluru on Sunday.

The AAP has been gaining attention from the masses due to its revolutionary pro-people decisions and has expressed confidence that people will vote for them.

It is expected that the AAP will announce the names of 120 candidates in its first list. Brijesh Kalappa from Chikkapet, Mohan Dasari from C. V. Raman Nagar, K Mathai from Shantinagar, and Anekal Doddaiah from Rona are among the likely candidates to be included in the first list.
