When it comes to politics, I’ll stand with D.K. Shivakumar: Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi
Bengaluru, October 16: “A leader should not have audacity. He should not pose before media. A common worker who works for the party is also an influential leader”, said Municipal Administration Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.
Speaking to reporters at his residence here on Tuesday, the Minister expressed his displeasure over BJP MLA Sriramulu statement that Minister D.K. Shivakumar would go to jail after by-election. “It is not fair to give such statement. It is left to their fate to go to jail or not. Personally, I may have differences with Shivakumar on certain issues. But when it comes to politics, I will stand with D.K. Shivakumar”, he said.
“Incharge of Belagavi district is my responsibility and D.K. Shivakumar has Ballary district. After withdrawal process of nomination papers is over, I would campaign in favour of Ugrappa. I will not campaign with Shivakumar. I will go with the party. We have requested the party to give ticket to the brother of MLA B. Nagendra. But the party high command has given ticket to Ugrappa. He will win in the election”, the Minister said.
“Operation Lotus will not work out in this by-election. Outsiders-insiders is not a major issue. Ugrappa should win the election. He will win. Whatever may be the election result, the coalition government will not have any problem”, he said.
