Following a controversy over naming the upcoming Shivamogga airport after him, former chief minister B S Yediyurappa has written to CM Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday, urging him to name the airport after other prominent leaders of the region.
In a letter to the CM, Yediyurappa said that he was thankful that the government considered his name for the airport. “However, I am of the view that naming the new airport after me is not appropriate,” he said.
He requested the CM to review his decision and name the airport after someone who had made significant contributions to the development of the country and the state.
