Sleaze CD: Jarkiholi hires pvt detective to nail 'conspirators'

Bengaluru: Milk Federation Chairman and tainted BJP leader, Ramesh Jarkiholi's younger brother, Balachandra Jarkiholi on Wednesday said that they had hired a prominent detective agency to gather evidence based information to name their political rivals in their complaint.

Balachandra is four-time MLAfrom the Arabhavi constituency in Belagavi district and is younger brother of Ramesh, who was forced to quit as Water Resources Minister last week after a CD went viral on news channels in which he was allegedly seen with a woman in a compromising position.

"We know who all are involved and hatched this conspiracy to bring disrepute to our family. In total nine people are involved in this, barring the woman who is seen in 'fake CD'. Our family will remain united till this case is over keeping our individual political aspirations aside for the time being," he explained to reporters.

He asserted that the family has decided to teach 'required lessons' to those politicians who were involved in targeting Ramesh.

"Let our opponents not take this as mere warning, we are going to lodge complaints naming them. Therefore, we are gathering required evidence based on information against such influential people," he said.Answering a question, the KMF chairman conceded that along with 15 legislators, he had met Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and none of us demanded that the cabinet berth be given to me. "Our demand was that Ramesh must be brought back into the cabinet and his honour must be restored," he said.
