It may be recalled that the BJP has made such contentious demands several times in the past as part of their efforts to rename places with historical or cultural significance, often with a focus on Hindu names or to remove Islamic references. 

During the Assembly polls in 2023, the BJP’s state party chief and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, had stated that Hyderabad will be renamed Bhagyanagar if the BJP is voted into power and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other senior leaders of the party have supported this demand.  BJP MP D.Arvind has advocated for Nizamabad to be renamed Indur, claiming the current name is “inauspicious”.  (Maxim News)
