Shivakumar proposes to rename ‘Ram’nagar dist, BJP-JDS combine frowns at the idea

The deputy CM, who represents the region’s Kanakapura in the assembly, led a delegation of Congress leaders including his brother DK Suresh to CM Siddaramaiah on Tuesday and submitted a memorandum in a public show of his campaign. The move, expectedly, has not gone well with the BJP and JDS as the NDA partners have fiercely opposed any renaming of the district.
