“We don't have any support from the State government. If they don't support badminton in a city like Bengaluru, it’s a shame. At one point, we were thinking of changing the name and moving to a second-tier city like Mysuru. We're going to try to host it in Bengaluru next year. If it doesn't work, we might have to make a serious decision,” Prashanth said, at a felicitation function for the team at Karnataka Badminton Association here on Friday.
