According to the State Election Commission schedule, nomination scrutiny will be held on Saturday. Candidates can withdraw nominations until February 3.

Sources said the Congress leadership is delaying B Form distribution strategically. The move aims to prevent disgruntled aspirants from switching parties before the withdrawal deadline.

Party insiders indicated that B Forms may be issued only on the final day of withdrawal. This approach is intended to retain aspirants within the party fold.

The Congress high command has reportedly entrusted District Congress Committee president Gajangi Nandaiah with overseeing ticket distribution. Decisions are being kept confidential amid strong demand for tickets.
