Ramesh Katti’s Panel Wins Hukkeri Rural Electricity Cooperative Elections
Big setback for Satish Jarkiholi and Annasaheb Jolle.
Chikkodi: The results of the Hukkeri Rural Electricity Cooperative Society elections have given a clear victory to Ramesh Katti’s panel, which won all 15 director seats. This is being seen as a huge blow to Minister Satish Jarkiholi and former MP Annasaheb Jolle, whose panels faced defeat.
The elections, held on Sunday, saw 36 candidates contesting for 15 posts. However, the Swabhimani (self-respect) panel led by Ramesh Katti swept the polls. This marks a major political victory for the Katti family in Belagavi district.
The election was highly competitive, with intense campaigning by the Katti, Jarkiholi, Patil, and Jolle families, making it one of the most talked-about contests in the region.
After the results were announced late at night, supporters of Ramesh Katti and former minister A.B. Patil celebrated with great enthusiasm, while Jarkiholi and Jolle’s camps were left disappointed.
