The BJP doesn’t need his money now and both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah don’t want damage to their image because of him,” a politician who is closely watching Reddy’s moves told ET.Ī 2010 Kannada film Prithvi, with Shivrajkumar’s brother Puneet in the lead, showed the DC of Ballari as the hero who dismantled Reddy’s mining empire. “His negative image is ensuring that even his parent party, the BJP, is keeping away from him, though he was responsible for establishing their first government in the South under B S Yeddyurappa in 2008. Political sources confirm that Reddy has been making moves in the last few months and was trying to get back into the political mainstream, which he ruled from 2004 to 2011, when he was arrested over the illegal mining case. The film, Mufti, where top hero Shivrajkumar plays the role of Bhairati Ranagallu, modelled on Janardhan Reddy, has been released just six months ahead of the Karnataka state assembly elections. BENGALURU: A Kannada feature film that is doing very well at the box office has created a political flurry as it appears to glorify mining baron and former minister from the BJP G Janardhan Reddy who is out on bail in a Rs 16,085 crore illegal mining case investigated by the CBI.
