The Karnataka Assembly on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution on the border dispute to protect the interests of the state. The BJP is in power in both Karnataka and Maharashtra, in Maharashtra the BJP is in alliance with the Shinde-led faction of the Shiv Sena. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had assured the House from the BJP that we will fight for even an inch. We will do whatever we can for justice to the Marathi-speaking population in Karnataka.

Let us tell you that the issue of border has been there since 1957 after the reorganization of the two states on linguistic grounds. Maharashtra claims Belagavi, which was part of the then Bombay Presidency, as it has a large number of Marathi-speaking people. Maharashtra has also staked claim to 814 Marathi-speaking villages which are currently part of the southern state.
