Border row: Union home minister to chair meeting on Dec 14 or 15, says Bommai


Bengaluru, Dec 10 (IANS): In a major development, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday announced that the BJP government at the Centre will negotiate between Karnataka and Maharashtra on border dispute.

A meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shindhe under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be held on December 14 or 15 over the border row between Karnataka and Maharashtra, said Bommai.

Talking to reporters in the Assembly here on Saturday, he said a selected MPs from Karnataka will be meeting Amit Shah on Monday and he has already spoken with him.

"Shah has said he will be called when required. The stand and the ground reality had been explained to him and it will be once again clarified with him when met personally," he said.

Bommai said an all-party meeting will be held to discuss this issue and he had spoken informally with former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah. The meeting date will be fixed in consultation with them.

A delegation of legislators from Maharashtra had met Union Minister Amit Shah on Friday and sought his intervention in connection with the border dispute with Karnataka.

The Supreme Court is also likely to take the matter of maintainability on the border dispute anytime.

Political drama took place recently between the two states when two ministers from Maharashtra announced their visit to Belagavi. Later, they cancelled their visit.

    The Belagavi border issue is being foisted upon BJP ruled dispensation by CONgress and JD(S) via the so called Kannada outfits loitering in state for want of rioting and creating nuisance only with an eye on the ensuing polls in April next year and to keep Bommai on tenterhooks. But little they realise is that there is a like minded Govt across border and an accommodating Home Minister in Central. Haters will wait to see issues, but all will be settled, rest in peace guys.

    The two BJP ruled state governments have plotted and raised the boundary bogey to deflect attention from their critical issues in their own home states.

    Mr. Basava is which number JUMBLA? THE POOREST OF THE POOR DIDN'T GET FLOOD VICTIMS COMPENSATION FOR TEO YEARS. Basava is the worst CM India has ever produced. He has no ghuts to ask funds from Autocratic Modiji, fear of loosing chair.

    If there is a real problem and a threat to the state then the govt first holds meeting with its own govt comprising of opposition, legal and expert committee how to confront the issue. This is the right constitutional way. But here nothing of that sort is taking place but it’s within its own party starting from raising the issue and solving the issue by the same party by its own people from both sides. So it’s a clear case of cooked up story for election campaign. Kitchen politics cooking election recipes.

    Same evil party from both sides creating havoc for innocent people. Meeting is to how to succumb people to their limits and yield them to vote BJP. 2002 Gujrat model is recreated.

    Shame on us! We all being Indians, fight with each other like India and Pakistan. Just because election is nearing our CM wants to declare his fake love for the state by saying that we don’t give them even an inch of land. At the end politicians want just money and power.
