UP CM Yogi Adityanath's tweet sparks debate of Lucknow's name being changed Last Updated : 17 May 2022 12:14:58 PM IST 
The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is apparently back to its name changing spree.
A tweet by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has sparked off speculations about the name of Lucknow, the state capital, being changed in the coming weeks.In the tweet welcoming Prime minister Narendra Modi to Lucknow on Monday evening, Yogi wrote: "Sheshavatar Bhagwan Laxman ki pawan nagri Lucknow mein aapka swagat aur abhinandan."This has led to a debate on social media about the name of Lucknow being changed to Laxmanpuri.A grand temple dedicated to Laxman is already being constructed in Lucknow.A demand to change the name of Lucknow to Lakhanpuri or Laxmanpuri has been raised several times by BJP leaders.Lucknow already has several landmarks named after Laxman and these include Laxman Tila, Laxmanpuri and Laxman Park.The Yogi Adityanath government in its previous term, had changed the name of Allahabad to Prayagraj and Faizabad to Ayodhya.This led to a surge in demand for changing the names of several districts including Sultanpur to Kushbhawanpur, Aligarh to Harigarh, Mainpuri to Mayanpuri, Sambhal to Prithviraj Nagar or Kalki Nagar, Firozabad to Chandranagar and Deoband to Devrand.Meanwhile, officials said that they were not yet aware of any proposal to rename Lucknow or any other city.IANS Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh For Latest Updates Please-
