MP: From Mohammadpur to Mohanpur, what’s in a reputation (change)?

A video clip going viral on social media reveals a bemused CM Yadav studying out the previous and new names proposed. He might be heard exclaiming that the change didn’t have an effect on him in any means, so why not? Hamara kya jaata hai, he repeatedly exclaims.

He renamed three panchayats of Badnagar in Ujjain — Gajnikhedi to Chamunda Mata Nagar, Jahangirpur to Jagdishpur, and Molana to Vikram Nagar, justifying the adjustments as a result of “naam atakta hai (we stumble throughout the names)“. The very subsequent Sunday, 12 January, he renamed 11 villages in Shajapur district. “Nipaniya Hissamuddin might be known as Nipaniya Dev, Dhabla Hussainpur as Dhabla Ram, Mohammadpur Pawadia as Rampur Pawadia, Khajuri Allahabad as Khajuri Ram, Hajipur as Hirapur, Richhri Moradabad as Richhri, Khalilpur (gram panchayat Silonda) as Rampur, Ghatti Mukhtiarpur as Ghatti and Sheikhpur Bongi as Avadhpuri; and naturally, Mohammadpur Machhnai as Mohanpur.

Altering names of villages and panchayats could look like a easy and innocuous train that doesn’t require a lot expenditure. Nevertheless, reflecting the names within the authorities’s personal data can change into a large train. The modified names have to be precisely mirrored in each new and previous income data, police data, and data in numerous different departments like training and agriculture, in addition to maps.

However then appearing in haste — with out considering by way of the results — seems to be what the BJP authorities within the state does greatest.
