“I have discussed with the leaders to solve the problems in the district. I don’t have any resentment over the party. There was no clash regarding the PLD Bank election. It was just an incident and we have solved it among ourselves”, Ramesh said.
Speaking to reporters here, Ramesh Jarkiholi said that media has termed the development during the PLD Bank election as a humiliation to Jarkiholi brothers. But in the election, Lakshmi Hebbalkar does not have any role. Jamadar, Parashuram and others were their candidates. Lakshmi Hebbalkar has a single seat. Everything was happened as they have planned. If they were humiliated, they would have resigned there itself, he said.
When asked about meeting the Maharashtra minister, Ramesh Jarkiholi said that they have sugar factories in Maharashtra for which he has met him and spoken to him and there was nothing wrong in it.
“Hindutva politics is stronger in Belagavi. So, we need to field a winning candidate. Satish Jarkiholi is eligible to contest the Lok Sabha election from the Congress ticket. If he is not interested, I will contest. Otherwise, we have asked ticket to Vivek Rao Patil. Total three names were given to the party high command”.
