Jarkiholi-Jolle camp regains edge over Katti faction in Hukkeri sugar plant
Belagavi: The ongoing political rivalry between the Jarkiholi-Jolle faction and the Katti family in Hukkeri taluka took a dramatic turn on Monday, with the board of management of Hiranyakeshi Sugar Factory, led by Basavaraj Kallatti, once again pledging its allegiance to the Jarkiholi-Jolle camp, delivering a significant blow to the Katti family. Founded in 1956 by cooperative stalwart Appanagouda Patil on the outskirts of Sankeshwar town, the factory was under the Katti family's control since 1995. However, in January 2025, the faction led by BJP's former MP Annasaheb Jolle and Arabhavi MLA Balachandra Jarkiholi wrested control, following the defection of seven directors. This led to the resignation of Nikhil Katti as chairman, ending the Kattis' three-decade dominance at the factory. The shift was largely driven by financial assurances from Jolle, who channeled funds through his Beereshwar Cooperative Credit Society. However, dissatisfaction over high interest rates prompted board members to approach local leaders Ramesh Katti and AB Patil, urging them to take charge of the factory. In a rare political alliance, long-time rivals Katti and Patil joined forces and regained control of the factory on July 29 this year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Online Skin Care Consultation - Learn More AskLayers Learn More Undo Yet, within 12 days, the factory once again slipped from their grasp and returned to the Jarkiholi-Jolle camp. Speaking to the media, vice-chairman Ashok Pattanashetti said: "The factory needs Rs 150 crore for smooth operations. We turned to Ramesh Katti and AB Patil, who had promised alternative sources of funding, but failed. Jolle's assistance is now crucial in getting the factory up and running." Commenting on the prevailing scenario, Annasaheb Jolle said: "The factory stands as a symbol of Appanagouda Patil's vision of the cooperative movement. My involvement, along with Balachandra Jarkiholi, is solely to uphold those ethos and ensure the factory's sustainability."

Speaker seeks probe into road damage
Mangaluru: Speaker UT Khader, who is also the MLA representing the Mangaluru constituency, wrote to PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi and the PWD principal secretary for immediate repairs of the roads that were damaged in his constituency following heavy rainfall. In a letter to the minister and department principal secretary, Khader stated that the road stretch from Chembugudde to Kuthar, connecting Thokkotu, was laid three years ago. However, large portions of the surface of the road deteriorated, making it unfit for smooth vehicular movement. Khader demanded a probe into the damage to the road within three years and sought action against lapses. Seeking immediate repairs to restore the road for public use, the speaker directed the department to initiate action in case of any lapses in the work. "Conduct an investigation to find the reason for the deterioration of the road in my constituency. Take appropriate action if any lapses are found," Khader directed. He said the PWD was upgrading the state highway from Thokkotu to Mudipu in Ullal taluk into a two-lane road. This stretch serves as a crucial link connecting several educational institutions, the Ullal taluk office, and multiple schools and colleges, he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In a related development, the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) Ullal taluk committee held a protest on Monday, accusing the authorities concerned of damage to the road from Thokkotu to Kuthar.
