Sriramulu gets house gate leading to Janardhana Reddy’s residence closed citing Vastu

BALLARI: Amid BJP MLA G Janardhana Reddy’s claim that his friend and colleague B Sriramulu may be shifting alliance to the Congress and the latter’s denial, the former minister has got a gate leading to Reddys’ house closed.

Sriramulu and Janardhana Reddy have houses at Havambhavi in Ballari. Sriramulu has got a small gate closed with cement and bricks citing Vastu. The houses of the two leaders are just 50 metres apart and the gate was used by the two leaders to reach each other’s houses by walk.

The closure of the gate comes at a time when the two former friends are not seeing eye to eye due to political differences. Janardhana Reddy has claimed that Sriramulu was looking to switch to Congress and was in talks with minister Satish Jarkiholi at the instance of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar.

However, Sriramulu has denied it and said that seniors in the BJP had asked him not to quit the party.
