I managed to grow politically because of DKShi: Ramesh Jarkiholi

Bengaluru: Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi said that he felt sorry during the oath-taking ceremony, as Mahesh Kumatalli and others could not become ministers.
Jarkiholi, one of the key persons in bringing down the previous JD(S)-Congress coalition government and allowing the BJP to return to power, was accorded a rousing welcome at Gokak on Sunday on his first visit to the constituency after he became a minister.
“I thank DK Shivakumar for my success. Because he interfered with the affairs of Belagavi, I managed to grow politically and reach this stage,” he said sarcastically.
He further added, “I felt sad during the oath-taking ceremony, as Mahesh Kumatalli and others could not become ministers. I decided to accept the position only after Kumatalli pressurised me, and I became a minister only because of the efforts of Balachandra Jarkiholi and Kumatalli.”
“As far as development works are concerned, what Satish took 20 years to do, I did it in just two years,” he added.
