Proposal to name road in Mysuru after Siddaramaiah triggers debate

Reacting to a proposal to name a stretch of road after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who is a prime accused in the MUDA case, the Karnataka BJP on Wednesday slammed him, questioning whether the CM does not feel a moral obligation.

BJP State President B. Y. Vijayendra said, "The Mysore kingdom was built and nurtured by the kings and rulers of Mysore. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has decided to name a road after himself which has the name of great royal lineage."

"How procedural and reasonable is it for the Mysuru City Corporation, which currently has no elected representatives, to make such a decision," Vijayendra said.
