Congress spokesperson Sama Ram Mohan Reddy criticized BJP MP Dharmapuri Arvind's call to rename Nizamabad to Indur, labeling it 'provocative' and 'communal politics' aimed at distracting from development failures. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC Sravan Dasoju also dismissed renaming debates as a misplaced priority, arguing for development over name changes. Telangana BJP State President Ramchander Rao, however, backed Arvind, stating the BJP would rename Nizamabad to Indur if they gain power, viewing current names as symbols of oppression.
