Congress Crisis  

Former Union minister Salman Khurshid criticised the BJP government for the arrest of P Chidambaram and DK Shivakumar. He agreed that there is dissent in Madhya Pradesh unit as Jyotiraditya Scindia is upset for not being given prominence and wished Muslim politicians joining BJP luck.

It’s no secret that the Jarkiholi brothers abhor the sight of Congress leader DK Shivakumar on their home turf Belagavi. Now, in the latest episode of MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi’s alleged resignation, he minced no words in putting down minister Shivakumar

 

For a few days now, Karnataka Congress MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi, is saying that he will tender his resignation. But now, some of his trusted friends have done a volte-face, distancing themselves from him at a time when he needed them the most. The trusted friends include B Nagendra, Congress MLA from Ballari Rural, Mahesh Kummatahalli, Congress MLA from Athani (Belagavi) and Srimanth Patil, Congress MLA from Kagwad

In what comes as an embarrassing development, Ramesh Jarkiholi’s brother Satish Jarkiholi has said Ramesh has no integrity and is a man of U-turns. He further added that the coalition government in the state can’t be toppled.

 

Ramesh Jarkiholi, who is likely to resign from the Congress and join the BJP, blamed his brother Satish Jarkiholi for the rebellion in the grand old party. Sources said he would be tendering his resignation on Wednesday night. With this, the BJP sees a clear collapse of the coalition
