SC bars Janardhana Reddy from campaigning for Karnataka polls in Ballari


New Delhi, May 4 (Deccan Chronicle): The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the plea of BJP leader G Janardhana Reddy for letting him go to Ballari to campaign for his brother, who is a candidate for the upcoming assembly elections in Karnataka.

The BJP has been facing intense criticism from the Congress since it named Janardhana Reddy's brothers - Gali Somashekhara Reddy and Karunakara Reddy - as its candidates for the assembly election.

Janardhana Reddy, a former minister who has bulk of accusations against him, was soon seen campaigning across the district for the BJP.

He was barred from entering his home-town Ballari, the heart of his mining empire. However, on Wednesday, he was seen just outside the district, campaigning for his friend V Sriramulu, the BJP candidate in Molakalmuru.

The Reddy brothers – MLA and ministers during the earlier BJP government in the state - have been accused of conducting largescale illegal mining across the iron-ore-rich district of Ballari.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday shared the stage with one of the Reddy brothers in Ballari.

    This shows how hollow are the assurances made by the PM that he will eliminate corruption. On the contrary corruption has increased manifold across our whole country as there is no accountability for any corruption in our country. All are making hay while the Lotus Blooms.

    No morale to Modi and Yeddi to talk on Congress now, SC also ban Modi to talk non sense issues during election comapaings, let him talk development what he is going to do, people will accept it or reject it, but as a prime minister he talks all rubbish which no one is going to beleave but only bakths can.
    wat a slap from SC to reddys

    If Reddy is banned why not ban Yeddy as well???

    Now BJP and Modi will target the judge who gave this judgement... hope this judge will be safe and not get the fate of what judge Loya had gone through.

    The most ever corrupt MLA Reddy and former (ever and ever) CM Yeddy are campaigning for votes... I dont know if they have some shame.

    Thanks Supreme Court if India, the justice still prevails.
