The Gokak-based Jarkiholi brothers have continued their efforts to enter the State Cabinet. They have been lobbying with the BJP and Sangh Parivar leadership to be appointed as Ministers. On Monday, the former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi met Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai at the latter’s residence in Bengaluru to build pressure.
Interestingly, in return for this, he is said to have offered to convince his younger brother and Independent MLC Lakhan Jarkiholi to join the BJP.
