With BJP losing in Bellary, will the government fall?

Sreeramulu-Janardhana Reddy
Bangalore, Dec 4: The ruling BJP party in the state suffered a sound defeat at the hands of B Sriramulu, who fought as an independent candidate and won the contistuency by 46,000 votes.

A setback for the ruling BJP party, it sure looks like, as Sreeramulu is an close associate of mining barons Reddy brothers. Sreeramulu left BJP on Nov 9 in order to contest as an independent candidate.

With Sreeramulu's victory, it sure has paid off to the Reddy brother's efforts to take chances on the ruling BJP, with Gali Janardhana Reddy, currently lodged at the 1876-constructed Central Prison, Chanchalguda, in Hyderabad in connection with the illegal mining scam.

With Sreeramalu's win in Bellary, the ball sure is in Reddy Brothers court now, with the possibilty that the Karnataka government could now ask CBI to investigate Reddy brothers.
