Uttar Pradesh Government Plans to Rename Bhadohi District as Sant Ravidas Nagar
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya announced plans to rename Bhadohi district as Sant Ravidas Nagar, reversing a 2014 Samajwadi Party decision. The renaming aligns with the 650th birth anniversary of Sant Ravidas and is part of a broader campaign honoring social reformers. The government also pledged to protect statues and parks dedicated to social justice icons. Opposition parties were criticized for previous name changes and alleged disrespect toward cultural traditions.
