Bengaluru, (DHNS): State electoral authorities today directed TV news channels not to air a "sting" video showing a state BJP leader allegedly trying to bribe akin of a former Chief Justice of India to get a favourable verdict for mining

baron G Janardhana Reddy in an illegal mining case.

The direction comes hours after State Home minister Ramalinga Reddy called what the Congress described as an 'explosive press conference' and released the video clippings which were in circulation on
social media.

The party alleged that just one day before the then CJI retired, he passed an order in a case related to Reddy brothers' Oblapuram Mining Company.

It said the videos that have surfaced today showing how Sriramulu, middlemen and son-in-law of the former CJI discussed bribe deals, hoping to get a favourable judgement from the Supreme Court in the
Obalipuram case.

Sriramulu, a confidant of tainted mining baron and owner of Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) Janardhana Reddy, is contesting from two constituencies Molakalmuru and Badami in the May 12
assembly polls.

In Badami, he is pitted against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

Rao has also sought a response from BJP and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard.

The Congress has been criticising BJP and the Prime Minister for their decision to give tickets to eight persons from the Reddy "camp" including his brothers G Somashekara Reddy and G Karunakara Reddy.
