BJP MLAs and Ministers seem to have quite a penchant for renaming the names of the cities and towns in the country. This time an MLA named Raja Singh has come up with a suggestion of renaming Hyderabad and Secunderabad if the BJP will come to power in Telangana. The statement was made by him on Thursday which said that if the BJP will win maximum seats in the December 7 assembly elections, they will rename Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar.

He further added that both Secunderabad and Karimnagar would also be rechristened. Singh said that Hyderabad was earlier known as Bhagyanagar but Quli Qutub Shah in 1590 changed its name to Hyderabad.

Raja Singh who represents Goshamahal assembly constituency told ANI, “At that time, many Hindus were attacked, many temples destroyed. In Telangana, BJP will win a majority and then our first aim will be developing the state and second will be renaming Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar. We will also change the names of Secunderabad and Karimnagar”.
