The former Chief Minister addresses two rallies, one each in Chikkodi and Belagavi
BJP leaders took out rallies as part of Jana Swarajya Yatre in Chikkodi and Belagavi on Sunday, where they campaigned for Mahantesh Kavatagimath, party candidate for the Legislative Council polls.
The former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddiyurappa addressed the two rallies.
Some senior party leaders spoke at the rallies. However, the Jarkiholi brothers, Ramesh, former Minister, and Balachandra, KMF Chairman, were conspicuous by their absence. It is widely being seen as their response to the reluctance of the party about fielding their younger brother Lakhan Jarkiholi as the second candidate in the Council polls. While Balachandra Jarkiholi has openly sought party ticket for his brother, Ramesh Jarkiholi has said that he has made no such demand.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
