In contrast to their resolutions, which asserted claims to various portions of Karnataka, our resolution said that we would not cede any of it.Such decisions are useless when the Supreme Court is hearing the matter (of the boundary issue), he insisted. Since our stance is constitutional, we are certain that the Supreme Court will rule in our favour.Bommai stated that the Karnataka government is prepared to defend the rights of Kannada-speaking citizens in Maharashtra. Reorganisation Act of 1956 limits, according to him, are binding.Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, the head of the state’s Congress, both denounced Maharashtra’s action.

Regarding the border dispute, the Mahajan report’s recommendation is definitive.Shivakumar stated to the press, The Congress party and the entire state of Karnataka vehemently oppose their resolution to include our villages in Maharashtra. We don’t want their villages, and we aren’t willing to accept even one from Karnataka.Who do you Think is right? Maharashtra or karnataka? We will glad to know your opinion.
