Name change for Hyderabad too; Raja Singh says Hyderabad must be called Bhagyanagar

After Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, name change spree has now hit Hyderabad. BJP MLA Raja Singh said that when BJP comes to power in Telangana, it will rename Hyderabad to Bhagyanagar. Raja Singh claims that Hyderabad was originally Bhagya Nagar, but in 1590 Quli Qutub Shah came to the city and rechristened it as Hyderabad. Singh says that areas named after Mughals and Nizams will be changed and kept after people who fought for Telangana and for the country. His statement comes a day after Gujarat CM Vijay Puani expressed the parties wish to change the name of Ahmedabad to Karnavati.
