Uttar Pradesh Renames Bhadohi District to Sant Ravidas Nagar Bhadohi
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced the renaming of Bhadohi district to Sant Ravidas Nagar Bhadohi during a programme where he inaugurated 112 development projects worth over Rs 1,340 crore. The renaming honors Sant Ravidas, a medieval saint revered for promoting social unity. The district has undergone several name changes linked to political shifts. Adityanath criticized previous governments, particularly the Samajwadi Party, for misusing funds, while opposition parties called the move politically motivated ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
