It seems all is not well with Karnataka Congress, Ramesh Jarkiholi, BJP leader and former Minister, said in Nandagaon village near Athani in Belagavi district on Monday. He was attending a private function in the village, along with former Minister Srimanth Patil.
“When I revolted against the party in the Congress government, everyone was blaming me. Now that Satish Jarkiholi is doing the same, people are realising why. Satish Jarkiholi is very close to the Mr. Siddaramaiah. If this is the situation when Mr. Siddaramaiah is the CM, imagine what would happen if someone else was CM,” he said.
“I have a feeling that CM Siddaramaiah does not have much freedom. Some people have tied his hands. He has mellowed down. The tone and tenor of Siddaramaiah’s speech and his strict administration that was seen in 2013, is not seen now. I have great respect for Mr. Siddaramaiah, but I do not know why he is behaving like this,” he said.
