Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief D K Shivakumar on Wednesday challenged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to take an all-party delegation to Delhi to pressurise Union Home Minister Amit Shah to give a public assertion on the Karnataka-Maharashtra border row to settle the matter.
“Not surprised that the CM is merely doing lip service with hollow statements. If he actually means to not cede an inch of Karnataka to Maharashtra, he should immediately take an all-party delegation to Delhi and let Home Minister give a public assurance on the matter,” Mr. Shivakumar mentioned in a tweet, responding to the assertion of Mr. Bommai on the delicate subject.
Expressing displeasure towards the Chief Minister’s assertion, the KPCC president asserted if Mr. Bommai needed to take stringent motion on the problem, he would have carried out so by now.
“It is not surprising that Chief Ministers are making empty statements like this. If Mr. Bommai was not ready to give up even an inch of the state’s space, he should have taken an action already,” Mr Shivakumar mentioned.
