‘Operation Lotus’ is not new to BJP: Satish Jarkiholi
Belagavi, December 3: “Operation Lotus is not a new thing for BJP people. Ever since the coalition government came to power in the state, the BJP has been trying to poach the MLAs from other parties through Operation Lotus. But no MLA of the Congress would fall prey to their conspiracy”, said former minister Satish Jarkiholi.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said that it was common that some of the MLAs in the party have differences of opinion. It was there in the times of all chief ministers. But he did not have any information on giving complaint to the party high command against Siddaramaiah. “I am not in touch with any disgruntled MLAs. I don’t have information about it. But we have already apprised of our demands to the high command. We have appealed the high command to do the cabinet expansion as early as possible and it has promised of doing it”, he said.
Cabinet expansion would help the government to do its administration easily. Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi has already clarified that he would not take any MLAs to anywhere, he said.
