Samiti Opposes Including Vijayapura in Article 371(J) for Kalyana Karnataka
Lakshman Dasti, president of Hyderabad Karnataka Horata Samiti, opposed demands to include Sindagi, Indi taluks, and Vijayapura district under Article 371(J), which is meant for the seven districts of the former Hyderabad Karnataka region, now Kalyana Karnataka. He clarified the Samiti supports separate amendments but rejects expanding the current Article 371(J) provisions. He criticized BJP leader B.Y. Vijayendra for supporting the agitation, saying it hurt local sentiments.
