Bengaluru, Jan. 2 -- BJP MLA G Janardhana Reddy on Friday condemned the Ballari clash outside his residence, alleging the other side brought goondas, petrol bombs, and stones.

The clash between Congress MLA Nara Bharath Reddy and Bharatiya Janata Party MLA G Janardhana Reddy over a banner led to one man being shot.

He blamed them for taking a "criminal way," asserting such violence is unprecedented in Karnataka and claiming public support remains with the BJP due to its development work.

Speaking to ANI, Reddy said, "The public saw the development work carried out by the BJP. They are not in a position to do even a small amount of work. So the public is totally against them. They are frustrated. They chose the criminal way...Why do you...
