In the audio clip, Reddy, who is close to BS Yeddyurappa, speaks to Raichur Rural MLA Basangouda Daddal, a prominent leader of the Valmiki community. Daddal was previously a member of the Badavara Shramikara Raithara (BSR) Congress, the party floated by Reddy aide B Sriramulu in 2011 after the split in BJP over the mining scam.

The audio clip, released just a day before BS Yeddyurappa takes a floor test, comes as a major embarrassment for the BJP. HRD minister Prakash Javadekar, who is also the BJP’s Karnataka in charge, said that the release of the audio tape was another “dirty trick” by the Congress. “People are coming to us themselves. This is because we have people’s mandate. We condemn it. Releasing these CDs means Congress is going to lose tomorrow,” he said.
