Bengal BJP Leader Vows To Remove All Mughal Names If Voted To Power

Kolkata: A day after Delhi’s Mughal Gardens was renamed Amrit Udyan, a senior BJP leader said the saffron party will change all Mughal names if it comes to power in West Bengal.

Suvendu Adhikari, leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, stated on Saturday that all locations with Mughal names need to be spotted and changed, ANI reported.

“They (Mughals) killed so many Hindus and destroyed temples. All the places named after them should be identified and renamed. We will remove all British and Mughal names within a week if BJP comes to power in Bengal,” Adhikari said.

President Droupadi Murmu has given the name Amrit Udyan to a wide expanse of various gardens in Rashtrapati Bhavan to celebrate Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav marking the 75th anniversary of India’s independence.

The President formally opened Amrit Udyan this morning.
