Kajjakpura ROB will now be known as Baba Lat Bhairav

Recently, a proposal was presented in Varanasi Municipal Corporation, in which it was decided to name Kajjakpura ROB as Baba Lat Bhairav ​​Flyover. This ancient religious place is situated in this area. Therefore, now this flyover will be known as Baba Lat Bhairav. Certainly, through this initiative, different routes and flyovers of Banaras are now getting a new identity.

The politics of changing the name has once again been hot in Bhopal. Madhya Pradesh Minister of State for Health Narendra Shivaji Patel, while supporting the change of name of Hamidia Hospital, described former Nawab Hamidullah Khan as ‘traitor’. He said that the Nawab had supported the people of India to shoot, in which more than six people lost their lives.

According to Minister Patel, the names of public institutions should not be named after such persons. This statement came a day after the Bhopal Municipal Corporation passed the proposal to change the name of this major hospital hundred years old.

Proposal and protest: Who said what?

In fact, on Friday (July 25), the state -of -the -art CT scan and MRI machine at Hamidia Hospital was launched by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. According to PTI, only after this, BJP Councilor Devendra Bhargava proposed in the Municipal Corporation meeting that the names of Hamidia Hospital, Hamidia College and Hamidia Road should be changed. He argued that such names respect the personality who was against independent India. Congress councilors opposed this and said that only the state government has the right to change the name of public institutions.

Congress retaliated, told to distract attention

Targeting the BJP, the Congress called it a strategy to divert attention from the real issues of the people. Madhya Pradesh Congress media in -charge Abhinav Barolia said that the condition of the roads of Bhopal is worse, drains are overflowing in the monsoon, dirt is spread in public places but the government is not doing any work on them. He alleged that the government is running the agenda of Hindu-Muslim division so that the eye can be removed from the basic problems of the citizens.

Political and social impact of dispute

This dispute has given rise to a new debate in Bhopal and all over Madhya Pradesh- should the names of institutions be changed based on the assessment of historical figures? While the BJP is calling it a historical justice, the Congress is calling it an attempt to communal polarization.
