The issue of the Maharashtra-Karnataka border dispute is not taking its name to stop. There is a continuous war of words between Shinde and Thackeray faction over this issue. Many leaders of the Thackeray faction have started helping the Shinde government. In this sequence, the statement of Aditya Thackeray has also come to the fore today. Aditya Thackeray has said that the matter is in the Supreme Court, it should be resolved there, there should be no violence. The Shinde government formed in an 'unconstitutional' manner is unable to take a stand. Both Maharashtra and Karnataka are BJP ruled states, the Center should intervene. Apart from this, Thackeray also raised the issue of increasing pollution in Mumbai. He said that the Shinde government is silent on this matter as well. There is a need to take appropriate steps on the issue related to public interest, but the Shinde government is not concerned about it.

The Belagavi border dispute or Belagavi border dispute is a dispute between the Indian states of Karnataka and Maharashtra. Present-day Belagavi is a district of Karnataka, but was part of the Bombay Presidency in British India, along with parts of present-day Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka. The 1881 census recorded a population of 864,014 inhabitants in Belagavi district. Of them, 556,397 (64.39 percent) spoke Kannada and 225,008 (26.04 percent) spoke Marathi. With India's independence in 1947, the Belagavi district of the erstwhile Bombay Presidency became part of Bombay State. In 1956, the States Reorganization Act included Belagavi district in the newly formed Mysore State (now Karnataka). This placed Belagavi with its majority Marathi speakers within Kannada-majority Karnataka. Since then differences started between the two states.
