What is the reason of what the reason is

While I was asking a question in this forum, I got some comments on the English of my questions. Though I could understand all of the corrections, it is not true for the following sentence.


My sentence:-

Please let me know what is the reason what the reason is for this usage.


Therefore, I would really appreciate it if someone could explain the reason for this.
