Satish Jarkiholi and Laxmi Hebbalkar, Ministers with their clout and leaders of different caste groups that tend to compete for power, came together to campaign for their respective children who represent the Congress, in Gokak on Thursday.
Ms. Laxmi Hebbalkar’s son Mrinal Hebbalkar is fighting from the Belagavi Lok Sabha constituency while Mr. Satish Jarkiholi’s daughter Priyanka Jarkiholi is entering the fray from the Chikkodi constituency. It is the first election for the two candidates, though their families do not lack electoral experience.
