Giving a jolt to ruling BJP in Karnataka, former Minister B Sreeramulu today won the Bellary (Rural) Assembly constituency byelection, which he contested as an independent after quitting the party, by a huge margin of over 46,000 votes.
Sreeramulu, a close associate of jailed mining baron and former minister G Janardhana Reddy, secured 74,527 votes and retained the seat which he had vacated protesting denial of a ministerial berth in the D V Sadananda Gowda Ministry.
