Kumaraswamy further said that the factory built during the "Maharajas" period of Mysore and Sir M Visvesvaraya has a history and "it is everyone's wish" that it should be under the control of the government. Talking to media persons, Kumaraswamy said, "I met CM Yediyurappa today and urged him that the Mysugar factory in Mandya should not be handed over to private hands for any reason as it has its own history. The CM has assured me that he will not allow the factory to go into the private hands"
