BENGALURU:
The rivalry between Ramesh Jarkiholi and DK Shivakumar has taken another twist. Gokak Sahukar (Money Lender) held a press conference, has once again erupted against the Kanakapura rock (Bande). Ramesh Jarkiholi, who single-handedly attacked Shivakumar as Pukkala (coward), a backdoor politician, claims that his involvement in Belagavi politics will bring down the government.
He predicts that the state Congress government will fall, just like Maharashtra.
The political tussle between DCM DK Shivakumar and Gokak Sahukar is not recent. Ramesh Jarkiholi, who was a minister when Yeddyurappa was the Chief Minister, had to resign from his post after a CD scandal. Since then, Ramesh Jarkiholi has been fighting against DK Shivakumar. It is Ramesh Jarkiholi who laid the foundation for the downfall of the Congress-JDS alliance government.
Ramesh Jarkiholi revealed that it was the alliance that brought down the government, and they did it because of DK’s attitude.
“We are not engaging in Operation Kamala to topple the state government. Even when the coalition government (JDS-congress) toppled last time due to DK Shivakumar’s interference, the BJP did not resort to any operations. We will not do it again,” Ramesh Jarkiholi stated. However, he dropped a bombshell by suggesting that the state Congress government may collapse, similar to what happened in Maharashtra.
