“We will concentrate on the BJP campaign in Belagavi Lok Sabha contitutency. We are not planning to go to Chikkodi for campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections,” BJP MLA Balachandra Jarkiholi said in Belagavi on Monday.
His niece and Priyanka Jarkiholi is the Congress candidate in Chikkodi, while the former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar is the BJP nominee from Belagavi.
At an impromptu press conference at the KMF office here, he indicated that there will be no conflict of interest in his campaigns. “No one has called me to campaign for the party in Chikkodi. And, as far as I know, no one has invited Ramesh Jarkiholi to campaign there. We will focus our energies on the Belagavi seat and ensure Mr. Shettar wins,” he said.
