Gokak Sahukar to unmask neta behind Santosh Striking Patil’s ‘commission bomb’ today?

By NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: All eyes are on Gokak MLA and former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi who had announced that he will expose the ‘Maha Nayaka’ (great leader) who is said to be behind Santosh Patil, a civil contractor from Belagavi who had accused former RDPR Minister K.S. Eshwarappa of extracting commission and who was found dead in an Udupi lodge a week ago.

The former minister claims this leader who was behind his alleged sex video, is also behind the Commission scam and is expected to provide details on Monday. Jarkiholi claims the leader had prompted Santosh to level the charges against Eshwarappa to tarnish the image of ruling BJP government.

Ramesh expects to get back in the good books of the BJP with this move after he fell out with the leadership after getting his brother Lakhan Jarkiholi elected to the Legislative Council from Belagavi district by defeating the BJP’s official candidate Mahantesh Kavatagimath in December, last year.
