Traffic Tangle: Janardhan Reddy's Range Rover Seized After Blocking CM Siddaramaiah's Motorcade – A Tale of Rules Gone Awry!
In a twist that feels straight out of a political drama, the traffic laws of Karnataka were put to the test when a Range Rover belonging to Gangavati MLA Janardhan Reddy was seized for obstructing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's motorcade on October 5th. The incident unfolded as the Chief Minister was traveling from Raichur to Jindal Airport via the bustling Gangaavathi route, where Reddy's driver audaciously decided to steer the luxury SUV head-on into the CM's convoy!
A Royal Mess on the Roads of Karnataka
On this fateful day, the CM’s convoy was cruising along when Reddy's Range Rover, along with a Scorpio and a Fortuner, brazenly interrupted the flow of traffic. This blatant disregard for protocol caught the attention of the Gangaavathi Traffic Police, who promptly swung into action. After filing an FIR against the offending vehicles, they have since brought the Range Rover back to Bengaluru.
The Scene of the Traffic Tangle
Reports indicate that the CM's convoy was halted for over 20 minutes due to the traffic chaos, with Janardhan Reddy himself caught in the same gridlock at CBS Circle in Gangaavathi. As patience wore thin, the driver of Reddy's car made the questionable decision to navigate through the road divider and speed towards the approaching convoy, infuriating several officials, including Minister Shivraj Tangadagi.
A Lesson in Law and Order
This incident serves as a reminder of the rules of the road—especially for those in positions of power. The police have not only confiscated Reddy's flashy wheels but also signaled that no one is above the law, no matter how shiny their ride may be.
