The Aam Aadmi Party today announced it's first list of 18 candidates for the coming assembly polls in Karnataka and said it intended to field its nominees in all the 224 constituencies.
"We intend to field 224 candidates, but it all dependson resources and availability of good candidates. In any case, we will field at least 112 candidates," AAP national executive member Prithvi Reddy told reporters here.
Reddy, who is also the state AAP convener, said the party would release more list of candidates in the coming days.
Talking about the candidates in the first list, Reddy saidthey are ordinary people with extra-ordinary background.
"If our Shanti Nagar candidate Renuka Viswanathan has been a stellar IAS officer who was instrumental in launching National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, the Shivajinagar candidate Ayub Khan is an auto-rickshaw driver working for thewelfare of fellow drivers."
