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.

'Someone must be held accountable': HC converts civil suit on Goa nightclub tragedy into PIL
Panaji (PTI): The Bombay High Court on Monday converted a civil suit against Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub into a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) saying "someone has to be held accountable" for the tragedy in which 25 people were killed.In a stern observation, Goa bench of the High Court of Justices Sarang Kotwal and Ashish Chavan said the local panchayat had "failed to take suo motu cognisance" of the club and had taken "no action despite complaints."
The division bench directed the Goa government to file a detailed reply on the permissions granted to the nightclub.
The High Court, while fixing January 8 as the next date of hearing, pointed out that commercial operations were continuing in the structure despite it having been served a demolition order.
The original petition was filed after the December 6 tragedy by Pradeep Ghadi Amonkar and Sunil Divkar, the owners of the land on which the nightclub was operating.

Advocate Rohit Bras de Sa, the lawyer representing the petitioner, was made amicus curiae in the matter and has been asked to file a detailed affidavit in the matter.
In their petition, Amonkar and Divkar highlighted "the alarming pattern of statutory violations that have remained inadequately addressed despite multiple complaints, inspections, show-cause notices, and even a demolition order".
They contended that these violations posed "immediate threats to public safety, ecological integrity, and the rule of law in the state of Goa."
Investigations by multiple agencies into the nightclub fire have revealed various irregularities, including lack of permissions to operate the nightclub.
The Goa police arrested five managers and staff members of the club, while co-owners Gaurav Luthra and Saurabh Luthra have been detained in Thailand after they fled the country.
