TMC’s Mahua fresh salvo over Rajpath rename: Hope they’ll name new PM residence…
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra on Tuesday took a swipe at the central government’s plan to rename the iconic Rajpath in New Delhi as ‘Kartavya Path’, saying she hopes the new official residence of the prime minister will be named ‘Kinkartavyavimudh Math’, which literally means ‘bewildered monastery’.
The road and the area from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose statue at India Gate C-Hexagon to the Rashtrapati Bhavan will reportedly be known as Kartavya Path. The pathway was created as a ceremonial boulevard during colonial rule and was designed on the lines of Kingsway in London.
The renaming of Rajpath, known as Kingsway during British Rule, is seen as the government’s attempt to shed the colonial past. In his recent speeches, Prime Minister Modi has emphasized the abolition of symbols that reflect the colonial mindset.
“I believe they’re renaming Rajpath as Kartavya Path,” the TMC MP tweeted. “I hope they will name the new Prime Minister’s residence as Kinkartavyavimudh Math.”
