Summary:
“Nimbalkar did not attend the Kannada Rajyothsava programme and the Khanapur taluk Kannada Sahitya Sammelana. Halasi in Khanapur taluk, 35km from Belagavi, was their second capital. Belagavi: The state government celebrated the first Kadambotsava at Halasi village in 2014 due to a decade-long fight and pursuit of villagers. The kings of the Kadamba dynasty used Kannada as their official language in the 10th and 11th century. According to Kannada leader Ashok Chandaragi, there are no hopes that the utsav will be held this year as MLA Nimbalkar has time and again exhibited an anti-Kannada stand for the love of local Marathi votes..
