Life

edit

Satish Jarkiholi was born in a prominent sugarcane-growing family in Belagavi district. His brothers Ramesh Jarkiholi and Balachandra Jarkiholi are both politicians and represent Gokak and Arabhavi legislative constituencies respectively. His daughter Priyanka Jarkiholi is nominated by the Indian National Congress party to contest from the Chikkodi Parliamentary Constituency in 2024 Indian General Election in Karnataka.[7]

He unsuccessfully contested the 2021 by poll from Belgaum Lok sabha seat, vacated after the demise of incumbent MP Suresh Angadi, former Minister of State for Railways.[8] He was defeated by Mangala Suresh Angadi (wife of Suresh Angadi) with a margin of 5,240 votes. Mangala Suresh Angadi was the first politician to defeat Satish Jarkiholi, in his political life spanning about 30 years.[9][10]
