Political careerEdit
Devendrappa was originally a member of Congress, and unsuccessfully contested from Jagalur in 2010. He was named as a potential Congress candidate during bypolls for the Ballari MP seat in 2018. Devendrappa is a relative and loyalist of Ramesh Jarkiholi, who, at the time was a Congress rebel and closet BJP supporter. He was chosen as BJP nominee because of this, and because he was approved by B Sriramulu, a Ballari BJP strongman, and was supported by Ramesh Jarkiholi.[4] In the 2019 polls, after being denied the Congress ticket, he defeated V. S. Ugrappa to win the Ballari seat for the BJP.[5]
