Bellary: B. Sriramulu on Wednesday, November 30, on the voting day, still spoke of forming a new party as if that solved all his problems at present.

He said it was cent per cent true so said the ambitious but empty handed Independent Candidate who is set to lose the by-poll by a thin margin, despite midnight knocks on voters’ doors since Sunday for distribution of money.

He offered worship at Durgamba temple in Bellary, and met reporters.

He would tour all over the state, like what Yeddy had planned but after results were made available. The final decision rests with Janardhan Reddy, he added, on the new party.

He said BJP used him and the Reddys as pawns in Bellary when they toiled to establish BJP rule there.

Forming a new Party, he would open a new chapter in the state, Sriramulu affirmed.
