Raichur, May 22: Expressing the desire to handle responsibility in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), mining baron and former Minister G. Janardhan Reddy has said that he was ready to accept any responsibility if the party gives it to him.
Otherwise, “I shall remain a common worker while strengthening the party for the next Assembly election in 2018,” he told presspersons in Raichur before leaving for Yadgir to participate in a religious programme.
Mr. Reddy, who visited the district after years, said that “I never said that I would not contest elections. But, the party has to take a decision on it.”
Asked about his friend B. Sriramulu’s statement on his (Mr. Reddy’s) future in politics, Mr. Reddy said that “I would have developed as a national-level industrialist if I had not joined politics, which victimised me. Therefore, he (Mr. Sriramulu) might have said that I should keep away from politics to avoid further victimisation.”
He said that he sought three weeks time from the Special Investigating Team (SIT) to provide documents to support the corruption charge levelled against the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy.
Expressing the confidence that the BJP will win all the seven Assembly constituencies in Raichur district, Mr. Reddy said that “we will work for the party to achieve the targeted results here.”
