BJP MLA Balachandra Jarkiholi said the family remains united on issues of significance, despite the five brothers being aligned with different political parties. Speaking to reporters, Balachandra stressed that political affiliations do not diminish their familial bonds during challenging times.
The statement came after the ED conducted a search operation at Satish Jarkiholi's residence as part of an ongoing investigation. The development marks a significant moment for the influential Jarkiholi family, which has considerable political presence across multiple parties in Karnataka politics.
Balachandra's remarks underscore the family's attempt to present a united front during the scrutiny. The five brothers have previously pursued divergent political trajectories, with members holding positions in different political organisations across the state.
The ED raid is part of a broader investigation into financial matters. The family's statement suggests they view the investigation as a matter to be navigated collectively, irrespective of their individual political positions or alignments.
