BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Thursday targeted members of the Jarkiholi family with the charge of nepotism in politics, during the launch of the BJP campaign in Belagavi district from Athani.
“If the Jarkiholi family wants all the political power in the district, what will be left for leaders of other communities like Lingayats, Kurubas and others?” he asked people at the party rally.
Mr. Yatnal was campaigning for BJP Chikkodi Lok Sabha seat candidate Annasaheb Jolle.
