Renaming Princess Road as ‘Siddaramaiah Arogya Marga’:  Ex-MP Prathap Simha finds no fault in proposal

‘There are achievers in every party and no one should raise objections due to party affiliation’
Mysuru: Even as the proposal to rename KRS Road (Princess Road) has ignited intense discussions, with calls to preserve the historical and cultural heritage linked to the Princesses and the Wadiyars, former Mysuru-Kodagu MP Prathap Simha has staunchly defended the move.
Simha’s support for renaming the road after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has caught many by surprise, particularly given the strong opposition from State BJP leaders.
Simha, who has aligned with the faction led by disgruntled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, addressed media persons in Mysuru yesterday. He countered criticism of the proposal, questioning what was wrong with naming the road after Siddaramaiah while highlighting his significant contributions to the development of Mysuru.
