Drop demand for separate state: BSY
Belagavi, July 31: BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa appealed those who have been fighting for separate North Karnataka state to drop the demand as the BJP would fight inside and outside the Houses for the development of the north Karnataka.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said that the BJP has 104 members in both the Houses and they would work in the House to implement the programmes for the development of the north Karnataka. So, the bandh call given on August 2 should be withdrawn, he appealed.
Karnataka was united because of the efforts of Alur Venkataraya, Kuvempu, Bendre, Shivarama Karanth and others. Various Kannada speaking parts were brought together and made Karnataka. So, no one should try to divide it again, he said.
When HD Deve Gowda was the prime minister, he had never contributed anything for the north Karnataka. Now, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy was going in the same direction. So, the JDS leaders should once again introspect themselves and give priority for the development of north Karnataka, he demanded.
