'''Iranna Kadadi''' is an Indian politician and a [[Member of Parliament]] representing [[Karnataka]] in the [[Rajya Sabha]]. He served as the [[Belagavi district]] Panchayat president in 2010. He also served as Bharatiya Janata Party's [[Belagavi district]] unit president.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/karnataka/bjp-names-eranna-kadadi-ashok-gasti-as-candidates-for-karnataka-rajya-sabha-polls-2288768.html|title=BJP names Iranna Kadadi, Ashok Gasti as candidates for Karnataka Rajya Sabha polls|date=8 June 2020|website=Zee News}}</ref> He also served as the chairman of [[NGEF]], [[Hubli]]

Kadadi had unsuccessfully contested the assembly election from [[Arabhavi (Vidhana Sabha constituency)|Arabhavi constituency]] in 1994 on a BJP ticket.

His nomination along with [[Ashok Gasti]] to the [[Rajya Sabha]] in 2020 came as a surprise from the national leadership of [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] as they were never in the limelight. The BJP later said that the party believes in appreciating grass root level workers, hence rewarded them with this opportunity.<ref name="devdiscourse">{{cite web|url=https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/politics/1085297-2-bjp-leaders-file-nominations-for-rajya-sabha-elections-from-karnataka-yediyurappa|website=devdiscourse.com|title=2 BJP leaders file nominations for Rajya Sabha elections from Karnataka: Yediyurappa|accessdate=12 June 2020}}</ref>
