434 candidates woo 46 million Karnataka electorate

We are also hoping our other national leaders like Yogendra Yadav, Manish Sisodia and Prashant Bhushan to campaign for our candidates contesting all 28 seats across the state," AAP state convener Pritvi Reddy told IANS.

Interestingly, Karnataka is going to the polls within a year after elections to the state legislative assembly May 5.

"We are lucky to have this election earlier (mid-April) with polling in single phase unlike last year and in 2009 when general elections were in two phases April 23, 30. Besides our leaders, cadres and candidates, even voters are spared this time from summer heat as temperatures soar after mid-April," Ramachandrappa said.
