VTU and Suvarna Soudha was made in Belgaum for a larger political reason by JH Patel, with intent of making it 2nd capital. HDK with his short sightedness will make way for NK ppl with strong reasons asking for statehood. #SaveVTU

I condemn the move by the Govt. Of Karnataka to divide VTU Belagavi in the name of restructuring it.. this move will turn out to be injustice towards the whole of North Karnataka.#SaveVTU #Karnataka
