Belagavi: Forest Minister Satish Jarkiholi today clarified that Ramesh does not have enough strength to topple the Congress-JDS alliance government.

Speaking to mediapersons here on Thursday, he said that already attempts were made to dislodge the coalition government, but not succeeded. Leaders of both the parties are capable of securing the alliance government, he said.

Ramesh is not a committed person. He keep on changing his statements. He said in Belagavi that he would resign. But after going to Bengaluru, he said he would not resign. He has no works to do, therefore he speak like that, Satish Jarkiholi said.
