Amit Shah non-committal on changing Hyderabad’s name to Bhagyanagar

HYDERABAD: Home minister Amit Shah on Sunday remained non-committal on changing the name of the city to Bhagyanagar. Replying to a question on whether Hyderabad will be renamed Bhagyanagar, he said, “Those things cannot be talked of now.”

Shah had to cut short his road show in Secunderabad due to heavy crowds. He addressed the public during the road show and the press at the end point of road show. As soon he reached (delayed as per schedule) the city, he went to the Bhaygalakshmi temple and offered prayers. BJP leaders said that Amit Shah’s visit has given the required final push for the party ahead of polling.
The road show was organised between Varaisguda and Sitaphalmandi, but did not proceeded till the last point due to heavy crowds.
