Congress leader Lakhan Jarkiholi, who is the youngest brother of former Karnataka Minister and Sleaze CD case accused Ramesh Jarkiholi, on Thursday demanded that state Congress chief D.K. Shivakumar must also resign on moral grounds as his name too is often being linked with the case.
Lakhan Jarkiholi is the youngest of five Jarkiholi brothers and was election manager of Ramesh Jarkiholi as long as the latter was in the Congress. After he defected to the BJP, it was Lakhan Jarkiholi who unsuccessfully took him on as Congress candidate in 2019 by-elections.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the election campaign of his brother and Congress state Working President Satish Jarkiholi who is contesting the Belgaum Lok Sabha seat bypoll, Lakhan Jarkiholi said that Shivakumar should also resign or the party high command must intervene and ask him to step down.
