BJP, JD(S) intensify pressure on Jarkiholi to quit before special session

The BJP and JD(S) have stepped up calls for Minister Jarkiholi's resignation ahead of a special Legislative session. The Enforcement Directorate has reported seizing ₹3.3 crore in unaccounted cash during its searches.

ED documents allegedly point to bribery connected with Public Works Department contract awards and undisclosed overseas investments. The mounting pressure from coalition partners signals escalating concerns over the minister's position.
