Defending the renaming of Tipu Express as Wodeyar Express, Mysuru MP Pratap Simha said here on Wednesday that it was a conscious and deliberate decision and he was grateful to the party leaders for conceding his demand.
Speaking to mediapersons Mr. Simha said he was aware of the criticisms being aired including the viewpoint that perhaps a new train could have been introduced and named after the erstwhile rulers of Mysuru.
