Border row: BSY Pulls Up Thackeray For Remarks On Including Marathi-Speaking Areas In Maharashtra

“The least I expect from Uddhav Thackerey is that he should respect our federal structure and laws that govern our land,” said Yeddiyurappa.

Maharashtra-Karnataka Border Row: Taking potshots at his Maharashtra counterpart over his comments on the border issue, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Monday said they would not give even an inch of land to the neighbouring state.

"Maharashtra CM's raking up border issue with us is smacked with arrogance and audacity. His statement on Belagavi is a slap on the face of the country's federal structure. He should realise this as it is a foregone conclusion when both states have agreed and implemented Mahajan Commission report's recommendations long ago," he said in a series of tweets.

Yediyurappa said it was painful to note that the person occupying the Chief Minister’s post should have indulged in politicking over the border dispute.

"This is nothing but an attempt to disrupt the harmonious atmosphere in Karnataka. Marathas living in Karnataka assimilated with Kannada and Kannadigas very meaningfully, similarly Kannadigas living Maharashtra have assimilated with Marathas beautifully. Let this peaceful and affectionate coexistence not be disturbed by anyone including Maharashtra CM," Yediturappa said in another tweet.

“The least I expect from Uddhav Thackerey is that he should respect our federal structure and laws that govern our land,” he added.

Earlier on Sunday, Thackeray while paying tributes to the martyrs of the border hostilities said that bringing back Marathi-speaking areas of Karnataka into Maharashtra was the only fitting tribute.

"Bringing Karnataka-occupied Marathi-speaking areas into Maharashtra will be a true tribute to those who accepted martyrdom in the boundary battle. We are united and committed towards it,” he tweeted later.
