Yediyurappa Rebukes Maha CM Thackrey Over Border Row
Rebuking his Maharashtrian counterpart Uddhav Thackerey, Karnataka CM B.S. Yediyurappa on January 18 stated that the former's statement was against the principles of the Indian Union. Earlier, Thackrey claimed that his government vows to annex Karnataks's Marathi majority areas. The Karnataka CM said that it was unwelcoming to see CM Thackrey encouraging regionalism and linguistic chauvinism. Besides, CM Yediyurappa asserted that such aims could threaten the country's unity.
