कर्नाटक में मैसूरु हवाई अड्डे का नाम टीपू सुल्तान के नाम पर रखने के सुझाव पर विवाद खड़ा हो गया है।

During a discussion in the Karnataka legislative assembly, the Hubballi-Dharwad (East) MLA proposed renaming Mysuru airport to Tipu Sultan airport, leading to protests and objections from BJP legislators. This sparked heated arguments between the two sides in the assembly.

Despite the disagreement, the state assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging the centre to rename four airports after notable figures, including Kittur Rani Chennamma and Rashtrakavi Dr KV Puttappa. According to the resolution, Hubballi Airport will be named after Kranti Veera Sangolli Rayanna, Belagavi Airport after Kittur Rani Chennamma, Shivamogga Airport after Rashtrakavi Dr KV Puttappa (Kuvempu), and Vijayapura airport after Sri Jagadjyoti Basaveshwara.

Controversy arises in Karnataka over the suggestion to rename the Mysuru airport after Tipu Sultan.
