Yatnal’s expulsion will be revoked 100%, says Ramesh Jarkiholi
Belagavi: Former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi has expressed confidence that the expulsion of Basanagouda Patil Yatnal from the BJP will be overturned.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Jarkiholi stated that Yatnal remains a strong leader both within the party and in his community.
He revealed that he had been aware of the expulsion decision for a month and had initially hoped that it would be halted. However, now that the action has been taken, he assured that efforts are underway to appeal against it.
Jarkiholi mentioned that Yatnal himself would write to the BJP’s central disciplinary committee, seeking a review of the decision. He also acknowledged the possibility of mistakes on their part and expressed a willingness to rectify them to ensure Yatnal continues in the party.
A crucial meeting is scheduled in Bengaluru on Friday, where senior BJP leaders will discuss the reasons behind the high command’s decision.
Jarkiholi emphasized that party leadership should have handled the situation differently, adding that they would identify where the mistake occurred and present their case. Confident of a resolution, he asserted that the expulsion order would be revoked soon.

CJI Surya Kant clarifies 'parasites' remarks, says 'pained' over media reports
New Delhi (PTI): Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday issued a strongly worded clarification on his 'parasites' remarks, saying he was "pained" by media reports that suggested he criticised youth.
"I am pained to read how a section of the media has misquoted my oral observations made during the hearing of a frivolous case yesterday," the CJI said in a statement.
Kant emphasised that his remarks were specifically directed at individuals entering the legal profession through "fake and bogus degrees" and were "misquoted by a section of the media."
The clarification follows a controversy during a hearing on Friday, when the CJI used words like "parasites" and "cockroaches" while pulling up a lawyer for his plea seeking senior designation.
"What I had specifically criticised were those who have entered professions like the Bar (legal profession) with the aid of fake and bogus degrees. Similar persons have sneaked into the media, social media, and other noble professions as well, and hence, they are like parasites.
"It is totally baseless to suggest that I criticised the youth of our nation. Not only am I proud of our present and future human resource, but every youth of India inspires me. It is not an exaggeration to say that Indian youth have great regard and respect for me, and I too see them as the pillars of a developed India," the chief justice said about his remarks.
