I doubt whether North K'taka exists on govt's map: Bommai
The New Indian Express Hubballi|December 23, 2024
BJP MP and former CM Basavaraj Bommai has called for "party-agnostic" discussions and protests to draw the government's attention to the development of North Karnataka.

He doubted whether this region even exists on the government's map, pointing to the lack of discussions about the region in Belagavi's legislature session.

Speaking to the media here on Sunday, Bommai said that people had high expectations that the Belagavi session would address the region's issues and provide solutions. However, the session was reduced to a mere formality due to the government's lack of commitment, as it treated the session as a farce.

He further condemned the police behavior during the assembly session, particularly their action on BJP MLA C.T. Ravi. The police exceeded their authority, subjected Ravi to mistreatment and used excessive force without provocation. This calls for an investigation into the incident, as senior officers behaved like constables. Such actions tarnish the reputation of Karnataka's otherwise efficient police force.
