Bengaluru, Dec 6 (PTI) Amid the raging border dispute with Maharashtra, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday said that the harmony between people of both states should not be disturbed and expressed his government’s commitment to protect the state’s borders and the interest of Kannadigas here and in other states.
He also said that he was confident about Karnataka winning the legal battle on the border dispute, as the state’s stand is both legal and constitutional.
Bommai’s statement comes amid reports that a Maharashtra ministerial delegation that was likely to visit Belagavi may not come today, and also some statements by political leaders in that state accusing his government of raking up the border issue keeping upcoming elections in mind.
