==History==
On 16 November 2015, Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers H.N. Ananth Kumar requested the Karnataka Government to rename the station after [[Balagangadharanatha Swamiji]], a Vokkaliga seer. The request was supported by Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had "no objection" to naming the station after the seer and had an "open mind" on the issue. The Hosahalli station is located near the Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana, a religious mutt owned by the Vokkaliga community.<ref>{{cite web|title=Govt open to naming Namma Metro after Kempegowda, says CM|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/512233/govt-open-naming-namma-metro.html|website=Deccan Herald|accessdate=11 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Now, name game begins in Metro|url=http://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others//articleshow/49808390.cms?|website=Bangalore Mirror|accessdate=11 March 2017}}</ref> Although the station has not yet been renamed, it is referred to as "Sri Balagangadhara Natha Swamiji Station – Hosahalli" in announcements on the Namma Metro.<ref>{{cite web|title=No announcements in Hindi on Metro's Reach 2; Banglore Metro Rail Corporation says station names too long |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/No-announcements-in-Hindi-on-Metros-Reach-2-Banglore-Metro-Rail-Corporation-says-station-names-too-long/articleshow/54399206.cms?|website=The Times of India|accessdate=11 March 2017}}</ref>
