Mandya: As Mandya prepares to host the 87th edition of the Akhila Bharatha Kannada Sahitya Sammelana, various organisations and scholars from the district have appealed to the State Government to appoint a local person as the President of Sammelana.
Among the names being considered are Kannada Sangha President and thinker Prof. B. Jayaprakash Gowda and writer Dr. Latha Rajashekar. Local organisations have urged authorities to consider either of these distinguished individuals to lead the mega literary event.
