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.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government on Monday issued a nutrition advisory recommending healthier food and beverage options at meetings, functions, and other official gatherings held in the state.
The advisory has been issued by the Department of Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Services to promote healthy dietary and nutritional habits among officials and staff, noting that food, refreshments and beverages served in government offices and official programmes are "often not aligned with nutrition standards."
The advisory recommends serving snacks such as millet-based, low-fat and low-sugar foods, fresh fruits, vegetable salads, sprouts, roasted nuts and seeds during in-house office meetings and breaks.
Beverages such as green tea, low-fat buttermilk, and locally filtered or boiled water served in glass bottles or steel flasks have also been suggested.
According to the advisory, for larger government events, conferences and exhibitions, departments have been advised to include at least one millet-based item during snacks and a minimum of two millet dishes in meals, along with local cuisine and at least one regional recipe.
It also recommends the use of brown rice instead of white rice, freshly prepared vegetable salads, and fresh fruits or low-sugar fruit juices.
If non-vegetarian food is served, it should consist of well-cooked lean or white meat, the advisory stated.
In eateries operating within government office campuses, the department has recommended millet-based foods, fresh vegetable salads, boiled pulses such as horse gram or chickpeas, and low-fat beverages.
It suggests serving food using reusable metal plates and glasses.
The advisory also recommends avoiding microwave-heated food, industrially processed food, fried snacks, high-fat or heavily spiced dishes, carbonated drinks, high-sugar fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages.
It further discourages serving milk-based tea or coffee and plastic-bottled water during official events.
“Overall, hygiene and cleanliness should be maintained while serving food and water. Local cottage industries, self-help groups, prison kitchens, nutri-gardens and others should be preferred for placing food and beverage orders,” the advisory added.
