Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday condemned Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's statement raking up the Belagavi border issue and termed it as an attempt to "incite fire". Speaking to reporters, he said, "I condemn Maharashtra DCM Ajit Pawar's statement, whole world knows that the Mahajan commission report is final. Marathi people here are like Kannadigas in our state. We have created a corporation here for the development of Marathas." Pawar had said Maharashtra's all-round growth and incorporating Belgaum (Belagavi), Karwar and Nipani -- areas of Karnataka which have substantial Marathi-speaking population -- were dreams of Bal Thackeray. "Let's resolve to fulfil Balasaheb's dream," he said in his message, paying tributes to Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray on his eighth death anniversary on Tuesday.
