BJP to rename Hyderabad, Karimnagar if it forms govt in Telangana: UP CM Yogi Adityanath
Hyderabad, Dec 5: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Wednesday said if BJP forms government in Telangana it would work towards respecting the people's sentiments by renaming Hyderabad as 'Bhagyanagar' and Karimnagar district as 'Karipuram'.
Addressing election rallies in Karimnagar district and Bodhan town of Nizamabad district, Yogi said: "If BJP comes to power in Telangana, then the BJP will work towards renaming Karimnagar into 'Karipuram' and respect your sentiments.
If the BJP government is formed, then Hyderabad's name will be changed to 'Bhagyanagar'... on similar lines you have seen in Uttar Pradesh...we have renamed Faizabad as Ayodhya and Allahabad to Prayagraj"
“Only BJP can do this work...because it is only the BJP which respects your culture, tradition, heritage and your ancestors and wants to take "Bharat ki vyavastha" (India's setup) forward.
Hence BJP is necessary and BJP wants cooperation from all of you. I appeal to you to vote and elect BJP candidates in the elections," Yogi said.
Telangana BJP leader T Raja Singh Lodh, who was an MLA in the dissolved assembly, had on several occasions earlier said that BJP would aim to rename Hyderabad and other cities in the state after the names of great people if the party was elected to power.
Earlier, the BJP-led government in Uttar Pradesh changed the name of Allahabad to Prayagraj, Faizabad as Ayodhya, and Mughal Sarai Junction to Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyay junction.

Four booked for tying 18-year-old to tree, beating him up in UP's Pratapgarh
Pratapgarh (UP) (PTI): Four people were booked here for the abduction and assault of a man who they allegedly tied to a tree and beat up, police said on Wednesday.
The incident, a video of which has gone viral, took place on Tuesday afternoon under the Kunda police station limits.
The FIR was registered on Wednesday evening based on a complaint from the victim's father.
According to Keshav Prasad Yadav, a resident of Mauli village, some people called his 18-year-old son Nikhil Yadav on the phone and asked him to come out of his house around 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
As he reached outside the village as instructed, the accused allegedly forced him into a car and took him towards the Tinpedwa forest area, where they tied him to a tree and assaulted, the complainant said.
The attackers also recorded a video of the incident and circulated it on social media. The purported video shows the men thrashing Nikhil one after another, while one of them is assumed to have recorded the act.
Kunda Station House Officer Manoj Pandey confirmed the incident and said efforts are underway to identify and arrest all the accused.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has shared the video on social media, describing the incident as reflective of a "dominant mindset" against the PDA (Pichda or Backward, Dalit, and Alpasankhyak or Minority), and demanded strict action against the accused.
