For 10 days from the 16th of Jan, Karnataka's Government business will be conducted from Belguam. Thats right people, the entire legislative session for the next 10 days will convene from Belgaum. Being from Belgaum, I am proud of the fact that Belgaum gets to host the session albeit for 10 days. But shifting all of the government works, the offices of various ministers and MLA's comes at a cost. And who bares the burden for this, the poor taxpayers like you and me.
I understand that this initiative of holding legislative session in Belgaum was started sometime in Sep 2006, to show support for Belgaum and reiterate that Belgaum is part of Karnataka and not Maharastra.
But my questions to our esteemed elected officials of Karnataka are these:
1. Will holding the legislative session for 10 days in a year in Belgaum at taxpayers expense, just make the Karnataka Maharastra border dispute go away?
2. Do our esteemed elected officials know why the Karnataka Maharastra border dispute exists? If they do, what steps have they taken other then holding the legislative session to address the fundamental causes for this dispute?
3. Why should the taxpayers be responsible for the expenses associated with logistics of having a legislative session in belgaum when that money can be spent in other important initiatives?
