Bengaluru: In the final lineup of nominations for the Vidhan Parishad(Legislative Council), the Karnataka government has made a significant change by excluding Congress Leader Mansoor Ali Khan.

This alteration in the nominations has worked in favour of actor-turned-politician and former Minister Umashree.

The selected candidates are Umashree, former minister M.R. Seetharam, and retired Enforcement Directorate officer Sudham Das.

Umashree has been nominated under the artists’ quota, M.R. Seetharam under the education quota, and Sudham Das under the social service quota. Reportedly, the Governor instructed the Chief Secretary to provide additional information about M.R. Seetharam.

This is in response to allegations of alleged money laundering. The Chief Secretary has arranged a meeting with the Governor on Wednesday.
