Satish Jarkiholi, the working president of the karnataka Pradesh congress Committee (KPCC), is a three-term lawmaker from the Scheduled Tribe (ST)-only district of Yemkanmardi in Belagavi. He claims in an interview with The indian Express that the new reservation policy of the bjp administration will not significantly change the SC-ST vote in favour of the ruling party. Jarkiholi claims that the congress will benefit from the "insult" the bjp meted out to Lingayat leaders because some of these politicians have switched over to the opposition party, but he adds, "It is not likely that the votes will swing completely in our favour."
