Mangaluru : Congress leaders are coming out with giving different names to the airport such as Koti Chennaya, Rani Abbakka and U Srinivas Mallya, Congress does not have clarity over the renaming of the airport said, BJP district president Sudharshan Moodbidiri.

Addressing the press at BJP district office  on Thursday November 19, Sudharshan said,  Congress is into caste politics over renaming of Mangaluru International Airport.  When Deyi Baidethi was insulted, Congress did not utter a single word. They even opposed in the committee meeting over renaming of Ladyhill circle.

Mangaluru airport became an international airport in the year 2012, why did Congress not recommend the name of Koti Chennaya?, Sudharshan questioned.

MP Nalin is striving hard to rename the airport and will conduct a meeting with the airport officials and come up with a good decision,” he said.
