Hubballi: Rebel Congress leader Ramesh Jarkiholi stayed away with most BJP legislators from the crucial meeting convened in Belagavi by water resources minister D K Shivakumar to discuss the severe drought and water crisis in northern Karnataka on Monday, May 6.
Addressing pressperson after the meeting DK Shivakumar said that the legislators who did not attend the meeting would have come if they were interested in solving the region’s water problem.
