Hyderabad Will Be Renamed As Bhagyanagar If BJP Comes To Power

At a time when all political party leaders seem to be playing the ¡®Hindutva¡¯ card to appease a large majority of voters ahead of Lok Sabha elections 2019, Yogi Adityanath promised people that if they want Hyderabad to be renamed as ¡®Bhagyanagar¡¯ then they should vote for BJP.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister made these comments while addressing a large gathering in Hyderabad where he decided to put forward his ¡®Hindutva¡¯ agenda for Telangana on Sunday. He went onto say that not only the Bharatiya Janata Party was ready to rename the city snap the city¡¯s terrorist links, Times of India reported.

The gathering took place at Begum Bazaar, less than 2 km from headquarters of Assaduddin Owaisi¡¯s AIMIM. Adityanath reportedly also said that BJP had taken up the mantle of establishing Ram Rajya and Telangana should also be a part of this. He added, ¡°And if you are keen to rename Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar, then vote for BJP.¡±

The only way that Adityanath could envisage to stop terrorism was to elect BJP in the coming elections which are set to take place on December 07 in the southern state. TOI reported the CM saying, ¡°All terror attacks have some link with Hyderabad. Had Muslim appeasement not been part of our politics, such terrorist activities would have not taken place. While Congress feeds biryani to terrorists, BJP feeds them bullets.¡±

The central government has received a lot of flak in recent past for changing the names of cities, specifically those which had some connection with a Muslim dynasty. While Allahabad was renamed as Prayagraj, Mughal Sarai junction is now known as the Deendayal Upadhyay junction. Faizabad too is known as Ayodhya and proposals for changing Ahmedabad to Karnavati, Pune to Jijapur and Hyderabad to Bhagyanagar have also been doing the rounds.
