HASSAN, MARCH 2. The Congress will kick start its election campaign in Hassan district from the "prestigious" Shravanabelagola Constituency, hitherto represented by the Revenue Minister and district in-charge, H.C. Srikantaiah, on March 6.

Disclosing this at a workers' meeting convened by the Hirisave Block Congress in Channarayaptna taluk on Monday, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) observer, M.B. Srikanth, said the KPCC President, B. Janardhan Poojary, would address a public rally on the occasion, in which he would speak about the achievements of the Congress Government.
