BJP workers are now anxious over possible differences among party leaders in Belagavi district.
They think that the factions headed by the Katti brothers and the Jarkiholi brothers are purportedly working at cross purposes and that this may adversely affect the party’s prospects.
It has become obvious that the warmth the two politically powerful families enjoyed in the past have lost it. The Katti brothers and the Jarkiholi brothers had joined forces to successfully stop the entry of the former Deputy Chief Minister Lakshman Savadi and his family members into the district central cooperative bank. But since the exit of Ramesh Jarkiholi from the Cabinet, the Katti brothers and the Savadis seem to have come closer, alienating the Jarkiholis.
