BJP’s Reaction After Govt To Name Road After Trump
Union Minister and BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar took to the social media platform X to criticise the government for the decision.
“Rename Hyderabad back to Bhagyanagar. If the Congress government is so eager to change names, they might as well start with something that actually has history and meaning,” he posted.
“What a sad state of affairs we’re living in – one side has #Twittertillu busy making AI statues of KCR who’s very much alive, and on the other is Revanth Reddy renaming places after whoever trends,” he added.

Telangana CM Reddy’s Proposal
Addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Conclave in Delhi last month, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had proposed naming important roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
The state government has decided to name a prominent stretch as the ‘Google Street’. The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the global firm’s largest campus outside the US, at Hyderabad’s Financial district, will be named after the company.
Microsoft and Wipro are also likely to get recognition on the city’s topography with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, as per the IANS report.
