  • Speaking to mediapersons, Surya stated that inflaming these kinds of passions is not good in the interest of both Maharashtra and Karnataka

The article from Business Standard discusses a political dispute between Tejasvi Surya, a BJP MP from Bengaluru South, and Aaditya Thackeray, a leader from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). The controversy arose after Thackeray's visit to Belagavi, a city in Karnataka, where he made comments that were perceived as an attempt to assert Maharashtra's claim over the region. Surya responded by asserting that Belagavi is an integral part of Karnataka and criticized Thackeray for engaging in what he called "cheap politics" to gain political mileage. Surya emphasized the cultural and historical ties of Belagavi to Karnataka, mentioning the contributions of local figures like Rani Chennamma and the presence of significant Kannada-speaking population. He also highlighted the development projects undertaken by the Karnataka government in Belagavi, underscoring the state's commitment to the region. The article captures the ongoing tension between the two states over Belagavi, which has historical roots in the linguistic reorganization of states in India.
