Can Ramesh Jarkiholi, Architect of 2019 Revolt, Lead 'Op Lotus' 2.0 in K'taka? All About BJP's 'MLA Magnet'

News 18  

Ramesh Jarkiholi, a former minister in the Basavaraj Bommai government and BJP’s legislator from Gokak, has been hogging headlines — for all the wrong reasons. It is the duty of the Election Commission and the Income Tax department to take note.” Soon enough, Jarkiholi returned with yet another embarrassing statement on Monday, claiming that “BJP will form a government in Karnataka even if the party does not get a majority”. Priyank Kharge, Karnataka Congress MLA from Chittapur and the chairman of communications for the KPCC, said Jarkiholi’s statement is hard evidence to show that ‘Operation Lotus’ exists and that there are large sums of money at the disposal of the BJP. A few months later, it is said that Ramesh Jarkiholi had already begun talks with the BJP and met senior leaders of the party at the wedding of Yeddyurappa’s personal assistant Santosh.
