Maharashtra political parties condemn Karnataka CM Bommai’s claims on border villages

The Hindu  

Tension is escalating between Maharashtra and Karnataka governments over territorial claims on certain villages as leaders of both States vehemently raised their voices to secure the contentious areas. Terming Mr. Fadnavis’s statement ‘provocative’, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, in a series of tweets, said the former’s dream would never come true. “We demand that the Kannada-speaking areas of Maharashtra like Solapur and Akkalkot should join Karnataka.” Further, Mr. Bommai said that since 2004, the Maharashtra government had filed a case in the Supreme Court over the border issue. Reacting to Mr. Bommai’s statement, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar said if Belgaum, Karwar and Nipani were given to Maharashtra, then they would discuss merging villages of Jat taluka in their State. Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Ajit Pawar, asked Mr. Shinde and Mr. Fadnavis to “give a strong answer” to Mr. Bommai and sought the Centre government’s intervention in the issue.
