'No need to mix politics,' Satish Jarkiholi on CM's visit to B K Hariprasad's house

Hassan: There is nothing special about Chief Minister Siddaramaiah meeting Legislative Council Member B K Hariprasad. He is a senior leader of our party. There is no need to mix politics in this, said PWD Minister Satish Jarakiholi.

Speaking to reporters in Hassan on Thursday, he said, "If he comes to our house, I will go to Dr Parameshwara's house. These are all natural connections. There is no permanent enemy or friend in politics. Politics is not always the same, it keeps changing."

"If you want to know about the chief minister's visit, you should ask in Bengaluru. You will get an answer there. I am just a minister. You should not ask such questions to me," he said.

Commenting on the pourakarmikas' protest, Jarakiholi said, "There is a meaning for their demands. We will discuss with the chief minister and take appropriate action."
