00:00Let's get your details now on what's happening in Karnataka,
00:04where we've seen some signs of chinks in the armour in the Karnataka Congress after the MLC polls,
00:08and now Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi issuing a clarification over his now viral remark on SIR.
00:16Remember earlier, the minister had said that they are fully content with the SIR exercise in Karnataka.
00:22They have no objections whatsoever to the deletion of nearly one crore votes in Karnataka.
00:28Now Jarkiholi has made a U-turn, explaining that his statement was actually intended to highlight
00:32the efforts by the BJP to remove Congress voters from the voter list through Form 7,
00:38and that that had been thwarted by protests led by Rahul Gandhi.
00:41This is his clarification now, and I'll leave it to you to decide whether you're by this response or not.
00:47First said, we're fully content with SIR.
00:49Now he says, I was highlighting that the Congress's protest was successful against SIR.
00:55Jarkiholi now has credited Rahul Gandhi, credited D.K. Shivkumar,
00:59reiterated his position on the illegal deletion of eligible voters' names.
01:03This comes after many within the Karnataka Congress contradicted Satish Jarkiholi,
01:07saying, no, we're not okay with the manner in which SIR was conducted in Karnataka.
01:14Hello everyone, welcome to the Karnataka, and I'll leave it to the Karnataka, and I'll leave it to the Karnataka.
01:33I'll leave it to the Karnataka.
02:06I'll leave it to the Karnataka.
02:36So, we are all trained in Karnatak.
02:43We have to do this.
02:45We have to delete one of our bodies.
02:48We have to delete one of our bodies.
