Ramesh Jarkiholi vows to quit Congress

BENGALURU: The Congress-JD(S) coalition executive is prone to head for some other round of turmoil with former minister and disgruntled Congress MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi deciding to hand over the celebration and sign up for BJP.

Ramesh, who has been sulking after he was once dropped from the cupboard a few months in the past, told journalists on Tuesday that he has made up his thoughts to hand over Congress. He accused state Congress leaders of being detached to his grievances. “I've decided to resign from my assembly membership and quit Congress,” he stated after casting his vote in Gokak.


Asked when he would resign, Ramesh stated quickly. “I'm in Congress most effective technically. I will announce the date of my resignation quickly.” On becoming a member of BJP, he stated: “I'm nonetheless a Congress MLA and will’t say about my plans overtly.” But he gave sufficient hint pronouncing that when the Katti brothers have been dissatisfied after being denied Lok Sabha price ticket from Chikkodi, state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa went to their house and pacified them.

Decision better for Ramesh, says Satish

That is not the case in Congress,” Ramesh stated. Reacting to Ramesh’s decision, his younger brother and forest minister Satish Jarkiholi stated it was once better for him (Ramesh), the celebration and the coalition executive. “The previous he leaves the Congress, the easier for him and the celebration as it'll put an finish to the continued confusion,” he added.

Ramesh’s resignation may pose a risk to the steadiness of the Kumaraswamy executive as two to three Congress MLAs, together with Mahesh Kumatalli and B Nagendra, are expected to go away with Ramesh. Before the budget session, those 3 MLAs together with Umesh V Jadhav, who resigned as Congress MLA and contested from Kalaburagi against Mallikarjun Kharge, had camped in Mumbai. They had defied the celebration whip thrice, forcing Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah to recommend their disqualification.

The development has given opposition BJP ammunition to create doubts about survival of the government. “Dissidence in Congress and JD(S) will explode after the poll effects and the Kumaraswamy executive will collapse,” BJP’s Sriramulu stated.


State BJP president Yeddyurappa stated. “Over 20 MLAs aren't proud of this executive's efficiency. They don’t consider even Kumaraswamy. When the Modi executive returns, the state will see big political trade,” he stated.


Rift among Jarkiholis out in the open

Under wraps a lot of these years, the rift between the Jarkiholi brothers got here out in the open with both Ramesh and Satish trading barbs. Soon after Ramesh introduced his decision to hand over Congress, Satish, who may be Belagavi district minister, stated: “It is healthier for Ramesh and Congress.” Two days in the past, he had taken objection to Ramesh for indirectly supporting BJP in Belagavi and Chikkodi LS seats and asked his brother to return out in the open and resign from the Congress as a substitute of “hiding at midnight”.


He even stated his younger brother Lakhan would contest against Ramesh in the byelection to be held after Ramesh resigns from his assembly membership. “He (Satish) has misplaced his mental steadiness. It's not that i am a coward to hit any person from the darkish,” Ramesh stated. On making Lakhan contest against him in Gokak, Ramesh stated, “He (Satish) has spoiled the political profession of 1 brother (Bheemashi), and is now spoiling some other’s. I will be happy to see Lakhan as MLA and can leave my seat for him.”
