Belagavi: BJP leaders of Belagavi met Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai at Bengaluru on Friday January 28.
As per the information the leaders have urged the CM to take action against Jarakiholi brothers Ramesh Jarakiholi and Balachandra Jarakiholi who are going against the party instructions. MLAs Abhay Patil, Duryodhan Aihole, P. Rajeev and Mahadevappa Yadwad, Parliament members Eeranna Kadadi, Annasaheb Jolle and former MLC Mahantesh Kavatgimath have alleged that the Jarakiholi brothers are the reason for defeat of BJP in Legislative Council election in the constituency.
During the election Lakhan Jarakiholi, with the support of his two brothers Ramesh and Balachandra jumped into fray, they asserted.
As per the sources, BJP was one short of majority in the Legislative Council, and the Jarakiholi brothers have assured the party of getting the support of Lakhan to achieve the target. However, the legislators from Belagavi are exerting pressure on party leaders, especially Bommai, to find other alternatives to achieve a majority in the council rather than getting the support of Jarakiholis.
