G Janardhana Reddy, the leader of Kalyana Rajya Pragathi Paksha (KRPP) and a notable mining baron in Karnataka politics, has officially merged his party with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections. This political move was announced through various media outlets, highlighting Reddy's return to the BJP, a party he had previously distanced himself from. Reddy, along with his wife Aruna Lakshmi, rejoined the BJP, marking a significant expansion of the Southern National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Reddy, also the Gangavati MLA, stated, "In the interest of the nation," as his reason for the merger, expressing his support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his desire for Modi to secure a third term in office. This development is seen as a strategic move by the BJP to strengthen its position in Karnataka, with Reddy being a prominent figure due to his mining background.
