Karnataka CM slams Maharastra DCM for rasing border issue once again

Karnataka CM Basavaraja Bommai has responded to the Maharashtra DCM Ajit Pawar's statement on the border dispute and said, Whenever there's a political crisis in Maharashtra, & it's there now, their entire govt hits rock bottom. They have created this language bogey now, just to survive politically.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar assured to keep supporting the Maharashtra border expansion fight within Karnataka. After Flag hoisting at Pune City Police headquarters in Shivajinagar on Maharashtra Day, DCM Ajit Pawar was talking.

On this Maharashtra Day, we still regret that several Marathi-speaking villages at state border including Belgaum, Nipani & Karwar couldn't be part of our state yet. I assure you, we'll keep supporting the fight by the people of these villages to become a part of Maharashtra, said Deputy CM Pawar.

Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai further said, The border issue is very clear, we stand firmly by our decisions & they also know it. I strongly urge the politicians of Maharashtra not to use this language bogey in their political acts.
