Sukhbir,its well known fact that states were formed on linguistic basis...and even if I take your 2 points for state formation into account,Belgaum can be better managed by Maharashtra than Karnataka on those aspects as well.Please note that most of the farmers in Belgaum district depend totally on Maharashtra for their daily chores and business...and to the point...thats precise reason why you see MES members get selected on corporation-mostof the times.
