No credible LS candidates for Cong?
The Morning Standard

For 2024 polls, Congress may bring in at least 12-15 fresh faces in Karnataka, say analysts
AS party leaders sit in a huddle in New Delhi on August 2 to deliberate on choosing candidates for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to win 20 of the 28 seats from the state, the big question is who will be the party candidates who can deliver these seats to Congress.
The party candidates who contested last time and lost, like KH Muniyappa (Kolar), Madhu Bangarappa (Shivamogga), Eshwar Khandre (Bidar) and Krishna Byre Gowda (Bengaluru North) are all MLAs and ministers.
A senior party leader said, “The main priority are the seats where we can field anyone and win. Our priority is to win.” KPCC working president Saleem Ahmed said, “We are confident of doing well and we will field winning candidates. We have good candidates.”
Sources said there is a big risk in fielding ministers as they would prefer to lose and continue as ministers than win the Lok Sabha election.
