BJP MPs demand that Delhi be renamed ‘Indraprastha’

New Delhi – After the central government approved the proposal to change the name of Kerala state to ‘Keralaam’, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal has now demanded that Delhi itself be renamed as Indraprastha. Earlier in India, the name of the city of Calcutta has been changed to Kolkata, Allahabad to Prayagraj, Madras to Chennai, and Bombay to Mumbai. Will Delhi’s name also be changed? It will be important to see.

MP Khandelwal has written a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. In this letter, he has demanded that the capital Delhi be named ‘Indraprastha’. ‘The name Delhi is from the medieval and colonial period, while the name Indraprastha reflects ancient culture,’ Khandelwal said.
