Bengaluru: Hours after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray accused the Karnataka government of deliberately changing the name of the disputed Belagavi district to Belgaum, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi on Wednesday demanded that Mumbai should be included as a part of the southern state.
While demanding that the financial capital of the country be made a part of Karnataka, Savadi said, The people of this region, as well as I, demand that Mumbai should be included in Karnataka. Until that is done, I demand the Central government to declare Mumbai as a Union Territory.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi on Wednesday said Mumbai should be made part of the state and urged the Centre to declare it a Union Territory until then, as he hit back at Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for raking up the border issue with a similar demand. We condemn the Maharashtra CM s statement. The Mahajan report is final. We are confident that things will be in our favour in the Supreme Court too. The demand of the people of our region is that we have been part of Mumbai-Karnataka (region), so we too have our right on Mumbai, Savadi told reporters.
