Now, four brothers of the Jarkiholi clan will be members of the State legislature
The victory of Lakhan Jarkiholi has thrown up several questions about the political equations in Belagavi district. Mr. Lakhan Jarkiholi, younger brother of Ramesh Jarkiholi, BJP MLA, shared his victory with Congress candidate Channaraj Hattiholi, the younger brother of Lakshmi Hebbalkar, Congress MLA.
With this, four brothers of Jarkiholi clan are serving as members of the two Houses at the same time. Mr. Ramesh, Mr. Satish, and Mr. Balachandra are in the Lower House, while Mr. Lakhan is set to enter the Upper House.
Mr. Lakhan defeated his immediate rival, Mahantesh Kavatagimath of the BJP, by 226 votes. This is being seen as a major upset for the ruling BJP that has 13 MLAs, two Lok Sabha members and a Rajya Sabha member in the district.
