Puttur: “I was sent to jail by someone’s deceit. I haven’t done anything wrong. I am telling this by standing at the premises of goddess Mahishamardhini temple, goddess will bring the truth to the light,” said former minister Janardhana Reddy.

He was speaking after attending Navaratri Utsav at Mahishamardhini temple, Matanthabettu on Tuesday.

“I was roaming around jails and courts. From past 62 months I haven’t went to my hometown Bellary. I haven’t participated in any public functions. But goddess Mahishamardhini has called me here and it is a sign that my good times are coming back,” he said.

He further said that there is no death for truth and lies cannot survive for longer time. Some are trying to defame him using lies, but goddess Mahishamardhini will save him.

ZP President Meenakshi Shantigodu said that spiritualism helps to develop the self confidence.

Ashok Rai Kodimbadi, SKDRDP Director Sitharam Shetty, Shashikumar Rai Balottu, Chandrashelhar Rai and others were present.
