If you needle us, you will go to jail again, Siddaramaiah hits back at Janardhana Reddy
Kudligi, October 29: “Don’t try to provoke us. If you do it, you may have to go to jail again after cancelling the bail”, former chief minister Siddaramaiah hits back at Janardhana Reddy.
Speaking at a by-election campaigning here on Monday, Siddaramaiah said that “when there was a debate on Justice Santosh Hegde report on illegal mining in the Session, Janardhana Reddy had challenged me to come to Ballary if I have guts. I had accepted the challenge and conducted Padayatre from Bengaluru to Ballary. Since that day, the Ballary Republic built by the Reddy gang was started to collapse. After that, Janardhana Reddy was jailed. Don’t try to needle us again. You may have to go to jail again after cancelling the bail”, he said.
“I have received the challenge of Janardhana Reddy. I am ready for open debate with him. Let Janardhana Reddy, who was banished from Ballary, fix the time and place. Golden commodes and golden chairs were the evidences for Reddy’s luxurious life. Where did he get all these? Not only Ballary, but the entire country knew that he had looted money through illegal mining. Are you not ashamed of claiming yourself as honest”, Siddaramaiah ridiculed.

Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent gets threat
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.
However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.
Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."
Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.
Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.
Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
