Karnataka chief minister siddaramaiah

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the State Cricket Association (KSCA) to name the stands at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy stadium after three "great cricketers of the state".

In a letter to KSCA President Raghuram Bhat A. on Monday, CM Siddaramaiah said: "I request you to consider naming the stands after G.R. Vishwanath, E.A.S. Prasanna and B.S. Chandrasekhar, which will inspire and encourage the upcoming cricketers of the state."

The Chief Minister further said that in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and other places, the main cricket stadiums have stands named after the great players from that city or state and yet there are no stands in Bengaluru named after G.R. Vishwanath, E.A.S. Prasanna and B.S. Chandrasekhar.
