Union Minister G Kishan Reddy Proposes Renaming Hyderabad as Bhagyangar if BJP Assumes Power

G Kishan Reddy, Union Minister and Telangana BJP president, affirmed the party’s commitment to renaming Hyderabad as ‘Bhagyanagar’ should they come to power in the state. He questioned the relevance of the current name, suggesting a need to reflect a more culturally resonant identity. Reddy highlighted the precedents set by other cities like Chennai, Mumbai, and Kolkata, where names were changed to shed colonial legacies.

Questioning Historical Names and Embracing Cultural Identity

Reddy challenged the relevance of the historical figure Hyder in the city’s name, advocating for a name that represents local heritage and culture. This proposed change aligns with BJP’s broader objective of replacing names that they perceive as reflecting a “slavish mentality”.

Intellectual Consultation and Cultural Significance

The BJP plans to consult intellectuals regarding this change, emphasizing the importance of collective and informed decision-making. The proposed name, ‘Bhagyanagar’, meaning ‘city of fortunes’, symbolizes a positive and prosperous future for the city. The BJP’s vision also extends to other regions, as echoed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s suggestions for similar name changes in Telangana.
