Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa held a meeting with party colleagues, and sources in the government said a decision on seeking Jarkiholi’s resignation will be taken after hearing him out. While BJP leaders have not reacted on the issue, Jarkiholi himself remained incommunicado. His phone was switched off.
A controversy Tuesday with a video CD allegedly featuring Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi and a young unidentified woman, audio conversations between the two, being played on television channels.
Social activist, Dinesh Kalahalli, who claimed he was authorised by the woman’s family, later filed a complaint with the Cubbon Park police in Bengaluru alleging that the woman in the video clips was enticed by the minister with the offer of a government job.
The police are yet to register a formal case and are verifying the legitimacy of the complaint.
