Similarly, Karnataka is also denying this claim. Because of this, today Belgaum has become an authorized district of Karnataka and Belgaum is the second capital of Karnataka.
Today Belgaum has maximum Kannada speaking people. But here Marathi speaking people are also around it. Similarly, Konkani speaking people are also found here.
