The year was 1999, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj decided to contest against Congress President Sonia Gandhi from Bellary, Karnataka. Sushma lost, but here she got Gali Karunakar Reddy, Gali Janardhana Reddy and Gali Somasekhara Reddy. After this, every year for 10 consecutive years, Sushma used to go to worship Vara Mahalakshmi in Bellary. Reddy Bhai used to call Sushma as Thai i.e. mother.
Nothing is the same anymore, Mr. Janardhan Reddy seems to be becoming a problem for the BJP this time in Karnataka. He has formed a new party Kalyan Rajya Pragati Paksha (KRPP) and has announced to contest the elections. Two of his MLA brothers Karunakar Reddy and Somashekar Reddy are currently in the BJP. His special friend Sriramulu is also a minister in the BJP government in Karnataka. Janardhana Reddy is the strongest of the three brothers. The head of the business is also the same.
Janardhan Reddy returns from jail, angry with BJP
The story of Sushma and the Reddy brothers got derailed when the entry of Justice Santosh Hegde, who was the Lokayukta in Karnataka, took place. He said in his report that the Reddy brothers had illegally exported iron ore worth about Rs 16,500 crore to China from 10 ports in the country through illegal mining. After these allegations, Sushma made it clear by sending a message to the Reddy brothers in the year 2011 that she was no longer their 'mother'.
The Reddy brothers campaigned for Sushma Swaraj in the 1999 Lok Sabha elections. It is said that he came to BJP only on the advice of Sushma Swaraj. The party also got its benefit.

In 2018 itself, the BJP distanced itself from Janardhana Reddy, who had been jailed in an illegal mining case. Then Amit Shah was said to be especially angry with him. The Reddy brothers are called the kings of the mining business in Karnataka. Even now in the Karnataka border area adjacent to Andhra Pradesh, they are said to have a good impact.
'Started election preparations from 2018 itself'
A close leader of Janardhana Reddy, while not disclosing the name, said that we had started election preparations from 2018 itself. Created social media pages, got ground surveys done. A new party has been formed only after getting the results of the survey. Janardhan Reddy will contest from Gangavathi, its decision has also been taken according to the results of the survey.
Senior journalist Mahesh Godar says- 'The Reddy community is the decision maker in Gangavati. There is Janardhana Reddy's influence also, so he can win Gangavathi. It can also be gauged from the fact that on the same day he announced to contest from Gangavati, the sitting MLA of BJP went to meet the organization minister.
According to senior journalist Ashok Chandargi, 'Whenever a leader has formed a new party after getting angry with the ruling party in the state, then the party running the government has been defeated. In 1983, S. Bangarappa broke away from the Congress and formed the Karnataka Kranti Ranga Dal. At that time he supported the Janata Party and for the first time a non-Congress government was formed in Karnataka.
