Previously, when campaigning for the BJP in Hyderabad in 2020, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath advocated for the city's name to be changed to Bhagyanagar.
"People often ask me if Hyderabad may be called Bhagyanagar," Adityanath stated while campaigning for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections in 2020. Why not, I tell them. If Faizabad can be renamed Ayodhya and Allahabad can be renamed Prayagraj, why couldn't Hyderabad be called Bhagyanagar?"
