Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday announced that Bengaluru City University will be renamed Dr. Manmohan Singh University, honouring the former Prime Minister.

The state cabinet also approved the renaming of Bagepalli town to Bhagyanagara. The move, Siddaramaiah said, reflects the government's respect for national leaders and local aspirations.

CM Siddaramaiah said, "We have declared Bangalore Rural District as Bangalore North. We have changed Bagepalli to Bhagyanagar."

Informing about the decision, Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar said, "We have decided that the state cabinet should conduct a special investigation into the mining irregularities and submit a report within a month. HK Patil found some shortcomings. We have formed a cabinet sub-committee under the leadership of the Law Minister to protect our state wealth. Bengaluru was the only one with a high-tech flower market. We have given it to Chikkaballapur district for construction at a cost of Rs 141 crore for a flower market."
