Plea for Bidar's merger with Maharashtra

Staff Correspondent

Pro-Kannada activists plan to hold a rally against MES


MES' arguments
  • Successive governments have neglected Hyderabad-Karnataka region
  • Development in State is Bangalore-centric

    Bidar: Some Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) members in Aurad taluk have sought merger of Bidar with Maharashtra. A delegation left for New Delhi on Friday to urge Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil in this regard. Pro-Kannada activists are upset and are planning an anti-MES rally in Bidar by the end of this month.

    Neglected

    MES leaders feel successive governments have let them down. "Hyderabad Karnataka, Telangana and South East Maharashtra were liberated from the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad on the same day. But the pace of development has been different in these three states. Maharashtra has progressed at a much faster pace than Hyderabad-Karnataka.

    We have been waiting for six decades but development is yet to get out of Bangalore," says Navanathrao Vasare, MES district general secretary, who was part of the delegation.
