Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has assured that efforts would be made to send a proposal to the Union Civil Aviation Ministry recommending to name Hubballi, Belagavi and Kalaburagi airports after Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, Kittur Rani Chennamma, and Basavanna, respectively.
After receiving memoranda from Corporator Shivanand Muttannavar and others at Hubballi Airport on Saturday, he noted that Basavanna's name would be recommended for Kalaburagi ariport, as Bidar airport belongs to the Air Force.
Muttannavar invited to Cong
When District In-charge Minister Vinay Kulkarni introduced Mr Muttannavar as the right hand of MP Pralhad Joshi, the smiling chief minister asked him to join Congress. Without giving any reply, Mr Muttannavar honoured Mr Siddaramaiah with 'Kambali' and fruit basket.
