His family liabilities have also reduced to ₹35 crore from ₹46 crore in 2018. Of these, liabilities and government dues of ₹6.3 crore are disputed.
In earlier elections, however, his liabilities had steadily increased. They grew from ₹63 lakh in 2008 to ₹12 crore in 2013 and to ₹46 crore in 2018.
The Minister has declared that his family, consisting of his wife Jayashree and dependent son Amarnath Jarkiholi, have total moveable assets worth ₹34 crore. Of this, the former Irrigation Minister has ₹15 crore, his wife has assets worth ₹9 crore and son has assets worth ₹10 crore.
It includes bank deposits, insurance and investments in private companies and cooperative societies and sugar factories, vehicles, jewellery, gadgets and livestock.
The current affidavit does not mention details of Santosh Jarkiholi, the other younger son of the BJP leader. Santosh Jarkiholi and Amarnath Jarkiholi are both mentioned in the earlier affidavits.
The BJP candidate’s family has self-acquired immoveable assets worth around ₹14 crore.
