Maharashtra Opposition again slams Karnataka CM Basavraj Bommai

MUMBAI: For the third time in a fortnight, angry Opposition parties in Maharashtra on Saturday again attacked Karnataka Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai's latest statements on the boiling border issue.

"Maharashtra delegation meeting Union Home Minister (Amit Shah) will not make any difference. Maharashtra has tried this in the past too. The case is in the Supreme Court. Our legitimate case in the Supreme Court is strong. Our government will not make any compromise on the border issue," Bommai said in a tweet.

Taking strong umbrage, the Maha Vikas Aghadi member and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lashed out at Bommai besides slamming both Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis for keeping silent on the matter.

Shiv Sena-UBT chief spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut reacted strongly to Bommai's tweet and targeted Shinde for not saying anything on the issue.

"They have been allotted the (party) symbol of sword and shield (dhal-talwar). Instead they should have got the 'lock' symbol as the 'key' lies with the Bharatiya Janata Party," said Raut in a swipe at Shinde. (IANS)
