B. Nagendra, Minister for Youth Empowerment and Sports and Tribal Welfare and in-charge for Ballari, said that major circles and streets in Ballari would be named after the great personalities who had fought for the unification of Karnataka.

“It is because of the sacrifices and the heroic fight of many people that all Kannada-speaking regions came under one State. It is our responsibility to remember them and work hard to realise their dreams. The district administration and city corporation should take measures to name major circles and streets in the city after those great personalities,” he said.
