Renaming of Bangalore and other cities was mooted in Dec 2005. In Nov 2006, the JD(S)-BJP government promised to get it done in 40 days flat. On August 20, 2007, former CM H D Kumaraswamy had announced that the Union home ministry had sent him a letter giving the nod for renaming 12 cities, barring Belgaum, within a week. But the renaming did not happen as more clarifications were sought. Now, Bangalore has to wait for its rechristening.
