Bangalore, Nov 20 - The November 30 bypoll to Bellary (Rural) Assembly segment in Karnataka is truly prestigious to ruling BJP that's up against a formidable independent candidate B Sriramalu, the party's "charismatic leader" in the region not so long ago. Sriramulu spurned BJP's offer to field him after consulting G Janardhana Reddy, his close associate currently lodged in a Chanchalaguda jail in Hyderabad after being arrested by the CBI in connection with illegal mining probe.
