Move to rename KRS Road after CM Siddaramaiah triggers debate
Mysuru: A Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) proposal to rename a stretch of KRS Road, from Sri Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy Temple to the Royal Inn Junction, as “Siddaramaiah Arogya Marga’ has sparked strong opposition.
The initiative, based on a suggestion by Chamaraja Congress MLA K. Harishgowda, was approved during an MCC meeting on Nov. 22. Subsequently, the proposal was sent to the Mysuru DC for clearance. After his approval, the MCC published a public notice on Dec. 13, inviting feedback within 30 days.
The renaming aims to acknowledge Siddaramaiah’s contributions to healthcare facilities on this road during his previous tenure as CM — Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, the District Hospital, the Princess Krishnajammanni Super-Speciality Hospital and the Trauma Care Centre.
An insult, says JD(S)
