Belagavi: Lok Sabha election is semi-final for us while the final match will be taken place after six months, District in-charge Minister Satish Jarakiholi warned his brother Ramesh Jarakiholi.
Speaking to media representatives on Sunday, Satish said, "The Gokak Constituency was in the control of Ramesh Jarkiholi for the past 20 years. But there are some confusion in the election this time. There are pro-party activists in Gokak," he said.
"It has been learnt that Ramesh, on Saturday, visited party workers and asked them to work for BJP. It was I, who strengthened Congress in Gokak Taluk. Then gave it to Ramesh. This election will reveal who is more powerful," he said.
"MLAs of Gokak constituency are not with our party. Therefore, I had to campaign in the field. Former minister Ramesh Jarakiholi has already left the party. Congress legislature party chairman Siddaramaiah has filed a complaint with the Speaker to take action against Ramesh. In addition, Ramesh Jarakiholi has worked for the BJP at various places in the district. Its equal if the party takes action or not. But, we would work to strengthen our party in Gokak, he added.

Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
