Mandya, Jan. 29 (Reporter) Mining baron and founder of the Kalyan Rajya Pragathi Paksha (KRPP) Gali Janardhana Reddy has said he is ready to ally with the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. If the alliance does not materialize, he would support the NDA alliance led by the BJP in case his party wins some seats, he added. "I also wish for Narendra Modi to continue as prime minister. He wins for the third time. In this context, if the BJP wants, I am ready to ally with it. If the alliance does not materialize and my party wins seats, I would support the NDA alliance," he told reporters here on Sunday. Reddy made these comments on a visit to Keragodu village, the epicenter of the Hanuman Dhwaj removal controversy, in Mandya district. He interacted with the villagers who were protesting against the removal of Hanuman Dhwaj from the flagpost by the local administration. Reddy said that for years, the villagers were hoisting Hanuman Dhwaj, but the Congress government in the state has created a situation threatening peace and tranquility in Mandya. "People of all faiths live here, and for many years, there has been no problem hoisting Hauman Dhwaj on a flagpost erected by the villagers. "It is only after the Congress came to power that a situation emerged where a peaceful situation is under threat," he said. Reddy said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should visit the village and hoist Hanuman Dhwaj to pacify the people living in the surrounding villages. No one can survive if they are opposed to Lord Hanuman. Lanka got burned for torching his tail. The CM Siddaramaiah government should repent and act to clear the sins committed in this regard,” Reddy said...////...
