Sriramulu to get Bellary ticket, Sushma loses face
March 13, 2014  14:37
BJP's central election committee, which is being held right now, has cleared the entry of B Sriramulu, former aide of Bellary's mining baron Janardhan Reddy, despite objections of senior leader Sushma Swaraj, keeping in mind his political utility and that he does not face serious charges in court. 

The meet will finalise Lok Sabha poll candidates for over 150 seats. What is been keenly watched is whether the party will take a final decision on the Uttar Pradesh constituency from where NDA's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will contest, but seats and candidates in Gujarat and UP are unlikely to be announced today.

Senior party leaders LK Advani, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Ananth Kumar, Murli Manohar Joshi and Narendra Modi are among those who will be at the meet.
