The government’s stand is very clear on the border issue. There is no question of ceding even an inch of our land, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bomma has asserted.

He was speaking to media persons after participating in a function organised by the Social welfare department.

The politicians of Maharashtra raise the border and language issue whenever they face a political crisis in their state. “There are many Kannada speaking areas in Maharashtra. The State government is mulling to take up their cause too. It is very mean on part of the Maharashtra politicians to raise the border and language issues for their political survival,” Bommai said and appealed to them to give up this attitude.
