Belagavi, Dec 28: Sources close to ousted minister, Ramesh Jarkiholi, claim that the Congress leader, who is grumpy ever since he was dropped from the state cabinet, left on Thursday December 27 via Goa.
As per information, Jarkiholi went to Goa from Belagavi at 3 pm and then proceeded to New Delhi by air. Although it is known that he has left for the national capital to visit a prominent leader, sources are unsure whether he will be meeting BJP national president, Amit Shah, or Congress president, Rahul Gandhi.

In the meanwhile, many assert that Jarkiholi's joining the BJP is a foregone conclusion. They add that Jarkiholi would be meeting Shah through Maharashtra chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, union minister, Nitin Gadkari, and Kolhapur district in-charge minister, Chandrakanth Patil.
In the meantime, state BJP president, B S Yeddyurappa, is scheduled to leave for New Delhi on Friday. But Sathish Jarkiholi, who is trying to meet his brother and discuss several issues with him in an effort to dissuade him from taking any extreme step, could not meet Ramesh. But he met Athani legislator, Mahesh Kamathalli, and Kagawada MLA, Shrimant Patil, who are deemed to be close to Ramesh, and appraised them of the current situation and advised them to have patience.
