Asadudin Owaisi hitting back at the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath for changing the name of Hyderabad city to Bhagyanagar, said that the “entire generation of those who want to change the name will end but Hyderabad’s name won’t change”.
The UP Chief Minister had earlier said that he will change the name of Hyderabad to Bhagyanagar if BJP wins the upcoming Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) civic body polls.
He made the announcement while addressing an election rally in Hyderabad on Saturday.
“Some people were asking me if Hyderabad can be renamed as Bhagyanagar. I said – why not. I told them that we renamed Faizabad as Ayodhya and Allahabad as Prayagraj after BJP came into power in UP. Then why Hyderabad can’t be renamed as Bhagyanagar?”
Taking a dig at Adityanath’s statement, Owaisi said the entire generation of those who want to rename Hyderabad will end but the name of the city will not be changed.
“The ones who want to change the name of Hyderabad, their entire generation will end but Hyderabad’s name won’t change. We speak the name of Ali, we will change your name,” a report by Zee News quoted Owaisi as saying.
