Mysuru’s BJP MP Pratap Simmha has sparked a debate in political circles and general public by effecting a change in the spelling of his name.
The Mysuru MP, whose name was earlier spelt as ‘Prathap Simha’, said he had changed the spelling of his name by removing the ’H’ from his first name and adding ‘M’ to his second name to spell it as ‘Pratap Simmha’.
He contended that there was no need to make any changes to his name when written in Kannada or Hindi.
