Fight for separate North Karnataka state is politically motivated: DCM
Bengaluru, July 31: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that the fight for separate North Karnataka state was politically motivated.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, the DCM said that if there were lapses in development issue, it could be rectified. But it is not fair to raise voice for a separate state keeping the issues like land, water and language. Unification of Karnataka was happened based on the linguistic issue. A number of people had sacrificed their lives and fought for the unification of the state. Such fights for separate state would kill the very purpose of the unification of Karnataka, the DCM said.
During SM Krishna period, Nanjundappa Committee was constituted to eradicate regional imbalance in the state. The Committee had given a report saying that 114 taluks were backward. Based on the report, the governments have been introducing various programmes. In spite of it, there were some laggings in North Karnataka region. The government would take necessary steps to overcome them. But it was not fair to raise the voice in favour of the separate state, said Parameshwar.
“The postmortem report of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt was reached the police. Now, FSL report is expecting to know the reason for the death”.
