"Our art and culture are different, on which we will never compromise. Tumakuru will not be renamed Bengaluru North. But it is true that Tumakuru is growing fast, and our efforts to get the Namma Metro network extended to the district and to invite more industries here will continue," Parameshwara said at the 75th birthday celebrations of Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna in Tumakuru.
