Mysore/Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has affirmed that the state government possesses the full authority to rename Ramanagara as Bangalore South district.
In a media briefing today, he addressed criticisms from Union Minister Kumaraswamy, who argued that renaming the district undermines its historical significance. Kumaraswamy contended that the decision was made without considering the views of the local population.
In response, Siddaramaiah posed a thought-provoking question: “Did Kumaraswamy take into account the historical context of the district when he was involved in the creation of Ramanagara district?”
This exchange highlights the state government’s commitment to valuing the opinions of local residents while also emphasizing the importance of preserving historical narratives.
