Mysuru: The chorus grew for naming Mysore Airport at Mandakalli in the name of Rajarshi Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, with District Minister G.T. Devegowda (GTD) joining the MLAs of the old Mysuru region and the MP in declaring that they would all urge the Central Government for the name change.
GTD was reacting to the suggestion of Prof. P.V.
