The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath made an announcement during the review of the development work of Agra division through video conferencing.
Yogi Adityanath has said that the Mughal Museum under construction in Agra will be established in the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He has said that the Uttar Pradesh government is going to nurture nationalist ideas.
There is a need to promote subjects that are proud of the nation, except for the symbols of the mentality of slavery. Our heroes cannot be Mughal, Shivaji Maharaj is our hero, hence the Mughal museum in Agra will be named after Chhatrapati Shivaji, he added.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath tweeted that ‘the museum under construction in Agra will be known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The symbols of slavery mentality have no place in your new Uttar Pradesh. Our hero is Shivaji Maharaj. Hail India.’
Besides, Allahabad was earlier renamed Prayagraj. At that time, Yogi had said, “It might be the wish of many people that Allahabad can be renamed as Prayagraj. I think that it will give a very good message. If everyone agrees, we should know this city as Prayag Raj and it can be a good start.”
