State directs BCC to pass resolution in favour of Mahajan Commission: Kannada organisations

The State government has directed the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) to pass a resolution in favour of the Mahajan Commission recommendations that Belagavi is an integral part of Karnataka, Kannada organisations said in Belagavi on Tuesday.

“We had complained to the State government against the BCC for delaying the resolution. The BCC referred the matter to the State government. Now, the State government has given clear directions to the BCC to pass the resolution and send it copies of the proceedings. The government has also reprimanded the BCC Commissioner for sending such references and has asked him not to send any such references in future. We hold Mayor Preeti Kamkar and Deputy Mayor Hanumant Kongali responsible for this. We demand action against these elected representatives,’’ Ashok Chandaragi, convener of the central committee for Kannada organisations, told reporters.
