How high command foiled Karnataka minister Satish Jarkiholi's plan to take 20 Congress MLAs to Mysuru

Public works minister Satish Jarkiholi attempted to take 20 Congress MLAs to Mysuru, but the trip was cancelled after intervention from the party high command. AICC general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala reportedly spoke to Jarkiholi and asked him to cancel the trip, stating that it would send the wrong message and give the opposition a reason to attack the government. Jarkiholi denied any political angle to the trip and said he would plan another one soon with permission from the chief minister and party president. However, sources suggest that Jarkiholi wanted to send a message to the party high command regarding the selection of candidates for Lok Sabha seats.
