DK Shivakumar seeks Amit Shah’s reply on border issue

Bengaluru, Dec 28 : Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President DK 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 statement on this issue to settle the matter.
“Not surprised that CM is merely doing lip-service with hollow statements. If he actually means that he doesn’t want to cede an inch of Karnataka to Maharashtra, he should immediately take an all-party delegation to Delhi and let the Home Minister give a public assurance on the matter,” he said in a tweet responding to CM’s statement on the issue.
He said if Bommai had to take stringent action on the issue, he would have done it by now.The CM on Tuesday had condemned the resolution passed by the Maharashtra Assembly and said that there is no question of giving an inch of land to Maharashatra. Shivakumar alleged that both governments in Maharashtra and Karnataka are led by the BJP who are busy escalating the matter with an eye on approaching Karnataka Assembly elections next year.
