Kodagu used to be a state with its own *CM, for example Poonacha.
He fell for the trap set by that Lingayat corrupt thug Nijalingappa, about the Karnataka unification, bring together the Old Mysore state,and the arid regions of Maharashtra, which were infested with a massive Lingayat crowd to include more Lingayat voters for the new state.
Poonacha, being deceived , gave away Kodagu, which was flourishing until then as an independent state to become a mere region of this new Karnataka. Since then, more attention has been directed at the Longayat ghettos like Belgavi, Bijapur etc..and Kodagu has ben sidelined.
This is an example, of hwhy the Karnataka has unification failed miserebly.
Time to split the state and recover the Old Mysore state.
