Bhopal: The Leader of
Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, Ajay Singh, today
criticised the state government over its move to change the name
of Bhopal to Bhojpal.
The real motive of the Shivraj Singh Chauhan government behind the
move was nothing but a political gimmick so as to hide its
failure, he said in a statement, adding that the government is
playing with history and culture of the state capital.
The life style, language and the conduct of the residents of
Bhopal are beautifully distinct and have created a special name
for this city worldwide, Singh said.
Whatever the Madhya Pradesh government intends to do was only for
the sake of doing as in the cases of Kolkata, Bengaluru and
Chennai whose names were changed from Calcutta, Bangalore and
Madras respectively. However, the government should not forget
that the people there supported such changes, he added.
