Karnataka Assembly clears Bill to rename Bengaluru City University after Dr. Manmohan Singh:

The Congress-led Karnataka government on Tuesday passed legislation to officially rename Bengaluru City University as Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University, in honour of the late former Prime Minister, who died at the age of 92 in December last year. The decision, however, drew objections from BJP leader R. Ashoka, who accused the Congress of harbouring “disdain” for Bengaluru even while seeking to rename its key university after Singh.
