Satish Jarkiholi, dismissed allegations that the Congress had come to a secret understanding with the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) to defeat the BJP in Belagavi.
“Some BJP leaders are going around saying that Congress and MES had a clandestine understanding to defeat the BJP in Belagavi. That is not true. It is the BJP’s bad governance and the anti-people attitude of the BJP MLAs that led to the strengthening of the MES in Belagavi but not the Congress,” he said. “MES had lost public support and had almost faded away from Belagavi politics. But the BJP’s anti-people policies and the disgusting behaviour with the public that brought the MES back to the stage in Belagavi, he said.
