Summary:
Bhopal, Apr 25 (PTI) After renaming a couple of places in Madhya Pradesh in the recent past, the state government is now planning to change the name of another town - Nasrullaganj, which is located in Budhni Assembly constituency of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
“A proposal to change the name of Nasrullaganj as Bherunda has been sent to the Centre,” Chouhan said on Sunday while addressing a sports event in the town, located nearly 90 km from the state capital Bhopal.
While the opposition Congress accused the CM of pushing the communal agenda, the ruling BJP asserted that the state government was focusing on development.
In February this year, the MP government changed the name of Hoshangabad district to Narmadapuram, and the name of its Babai town to Makhan Nagar.
Babai is the birthplace of renowned poet Makhanlal Chaturvedi.
In November last year, Bhopal"s Habibganj railway station was renamed after tribal queen Rani Kamalapati.
