BJP, JDS leaders oppose Karnataka govt's proposal to rename Ramanagara district

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: Opposing the proposal to rename Ramanagara district as Bengaluru South district, BJP and JDS leaders slammed the Congress government, accusing it of indulging in appeasement politics. Leader of Opposition in the Assembly and BJP leader R Ashoka said, “It appears as if they hate the name “Rama’’ in Ramanagara, which has prompted them to take up this proposal.” He said they are also looking at the move in terms of real estate value. “They have already cheated people of Bengaluru in the name of ‘Brand Bengaluru’, and now with the renaming of Ramanagara, they are fooling people of that district too,’’ he said. He questioned Chief Minister Siddaramaiah if the renaming of Ramanagara district was Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s idea.
