The Yogi Adityanath authorities in Uttar Pradesh has modified the names of a number of locations within the states, the place the names given by Mughals have been eliminated and renamed to historic names of varied locations and districts. However, it appears the Samajwadi Party is just not with the ability to settle for these adjustments, as a result of the social gathering remains to be utilizing the previous names.
Yesterday the Samajwadi Party introduced its third checklist for the Uttar Pradesh elections, containing 56 names. In this official checklist, the social gathering used the district names Allahabad and Faizabad, that are previous names of the districts and are not the official names. The new names of the districts are Prayagraj and Ayodhya, however the social gathering refused to make use of the brand new official names.
In October 2018, the UP authorities had introduced that Allahabad can be renamed to Prayagraj, which was subsequently accepted by the centre. The place, which hosts the Kumbh Mela, was named as Prayagraj until 1575, when it was modified to Allahabad through the rule of Mughal emperor Akbar.
Similarly in November 2018, the Faizabad district in UP was renamed as Ayodhya by the Yogi Adityanath Government, earlier than the historic Supreme Court verdict on the Ayodhya title swimsuit. It could also be famous that the Ayodhya metropolis is positioned within the Faizabad district, and varied organisations have been demanding to rename the district as Ayodhya.
But even three years after each the districts have been renamed, it appears Samajwadi Party is just not in a position to settle for the brand new names. They clearly love the Mughal given names, and due to this fact utilizing them of their official paperwork.
It is notable that whereas SP doesn’t settle for the brand new names given by the BJP authorities, the social gathering had renamed far more districts when it was in energy. While the BJP govt has renamed solely two districts, with calls for for renaming extra districts nonetheless not met, the Akhilesh Yadav govt had renamed as many as 9 districts throughout its tenure.
The SP govt had renamed Prabhuddh Nagar to Shamli, Bhim Nagar to Sambhal, Panchsheel Nagar to Hapur, Mahamaya Nagar to Hathras, Jyotiba Phule Nagar to Amroha, Kanshiram Nagar to Kasganj, Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar to Amethi, Ramabai Nagar to Kanpur Dehat and Sant Ravidas Nagar to Bhadohi. SP didn’t rename a single place renamed by Mughals, however had renamed districts that have been named after well-known personalities and so forth.
While everybody now makes use of the brand new names assigned by the SP govt, now the identical social gathering refuses to just accept and use new names given by the BJP govt.
The social gathering has launched three lists to this point, with 159, 39 and 56 names.
