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.
