Explanation:
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray suggested that the disputed border areas between Maharashtra and Karnataka the states should be made a Union Territory until the matter was decided by the Supreme Court. The erstwhile Bombay Presidency, a multilingual province, included the present-day Karnataka districts of Bijapur, Belgaum, Dharwar and Uttara-Kannada (previously North Kanara). The Belagavi/Belgaum region at the border of Maharashtra and Karnataka comprises both Kannada and Marathi speakers.
