‘Union Home Minister Amit Shah has given the go-ahead’
Followers of Ramesh Jarkiholi are upbeat about the rising chances of his return to the State Cabinet. They believe that senior leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has given an in-principle approval to the Gokak-based leader’s request to join the Ministry.
“There is euphoria in Gokak. We are all waiting for the Sahukar to join the Cabinet,’’ said Bheemshi Bharamannanavar, BJP Yuva Morcha leader and a Jarkiholi family loyalist. “Youth associations in several villages are organising events to felicitate Mr. Jarkiholi, in anticipation of his becoming a Minister,’’ he said.
On Thursday, Mahesh Kumthalli, who spoke to journalists in Mahishawadagi village near Athani, said that it is time that his leader is sworn in as Minister. “All the problems in his life are over. He will become a Minister soon,’’ he said. He also predicted that Mr. Jarkiholi will helm the Irrigation Ministry, once again. He has promised to release ₹3,000 crore for irrigation projects in Athani taluk alone.
