In another shocker to Gali Janardhan Reddy, the Karanataka High Court has set aside the election of BJP MP from Bellary J Shanta, who is in the camp of Janardhan Reddy. It may be noted that the Congress leader Chandra Gowda has filed a petition with the High Court challenging the election of the BJP MP. In his petition, he has stated that Shanta was used fake caste certificates and also resorted to corruption just two days ahead of the election. The Court, which accepted the petition, has inquired and held Shantha guilty. Therefore, the Court had set aside her election..

Shanta is the sister of the former Karnataka minister Sriramulu. This decision of the court came in as a shock to the BJP.
