Former Karnataka Minister and BJP leader, B. Sriramulu, claimed that gunshots were fired at party MLA Gali Janardhana Reddy during a clash in Ballari, resulting in a Congress worker’s death. Sriramulu called for a thorough investigation into the incident, urging for accountability and justice.
Addressing a press conference alongside Janardhana Reddy, Sriramulu expressed deep concern over the violence and demanded a judicial inquiry led by a High Court judge. He emphasized the need to identify the perpetrators behind the fatal shooting and insisted on a Forensic Science Laboratory report to ascertain the facts.
Sriramulu criticized the state government for the lack of control over the situation, questioning the large gathering near Janardhana Reddy’s residence. He warned against politicizing the incident and emphasized the need for unity and peace in the region. The clash, which escalated from a banner dispute, has left the area tense with heightened security measures in place.
