Claims of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti leaders that some Maharashtra Ministers will participate in the ‘Black Day’ on Karnataka Rajyotsava day, to oppose the unification of the State in Belagavi on November 1, has come under fire from Kannada organisations.
Kannada organisations have written to the Karnataka government seeking a ban on the Black Day observations in Belagavi.
According to MES leaders, Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra CM, had promised a delegation of MES leaders that he would depute one or two senior Ministers to Belagavi to speak at the event to be organised by them.
