Maharashtra has asked to bring 865 disputed villages including Belgaum under centre's rule until Supreme court's final verdict.
According to the Vedike's claims which were reflected in the press and media, the aim of the bandh was "to make the Centre and the common man realize that the award was not fair to Karnataka."
The Vedike presented a memorandum to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, alleging that historical bias by the colonial British administration against the Kingdom of Mysore was responsible for Karnataka being sidelined in favour of other states like Tamil Nadu.
[16][17] On 8 July 2011 Karnataka Rakshana Vedike members staged a protest[citation needed] at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) premises demanding reservation for Kannadigas as per the official language policy applicable to all union Government organizations.
[18][19] Following this, Kannada Development Authority (KDA) chairperson Mukhyamantri Chandru also met with HAL officials and insisted on implementing Dr. Sarojini Mahishi report which recommends 100 percent reservation to locals for 'C' and 'D' category posts.
[20] HAL's HR executive director cited ignorance of the fact that even Central Government organizations had to conform to the report's recommendations and assured them of appointing Kannadigas to all of the 677 openings.
[24] Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike](Greater Bangalore Municipal Corporation) ] also issued notices to establishments that do not comply to this rule may have their licenses revoked.
The aim of the conference was to discuss plans for countering the imposition of Hindi on Kannadigas and the Central Government's Rajbhasha policy.
The activists allegedly asked Andrew Abishek, Store Manager at the outlet to print 200 photos of the organisation’s former protests and another 200 copies of a four-page brochure, for free.
[32] The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) employees were thrashed by the suspected Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) workers when the former went to remove the illegal posters put up on Nrupathunga Road.
[33] In a video that has gone viral on social media, a group of pro-Kannada activists were seen shouting slogans against the exclusion of Kannada in a hoarding that was in Hindi.
Soon after the video went viral, a member of the federation, Trilok Chand, filed a complaint with the Commercial Street Police station alleging that the pro-Kannada activists were trying to provoke enmity on religious and linguistic grounds.
Paramesh alleged that pro-Kannada activists had vandalized hoardings outside several Jain temples and prayer halls since the beginning of August in Bengaluru.
[36] On September 14, 2018 The KRV activists blackened the milestones written in Hindi on NH 48 near Davangere and signages on other highway stretches.
