Senior Congress leader and MLA Satish Jarkiholi denied his involvement in the vandalism at Rani Channamma University, Belagavi (RCUB), recently. However, Congress would fight against 'saffronisation' of the university, he claimed.

It maybe recalled that people claiming to be Satish Jarkiholi's supporters, barged into a voluntary blood donation camp being held at the university auditorium; and engaged in a heated argument with varsity authorities. 

Jarkiholi claimed that people who barged into the varsity on Monday, were there to protest against 'saffronisation' efforts by syndicated member Raju Chikkangoudar. Chikkangoudar is the BJP Yuva Morcha state vice president, he added.
