Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has pledged to rename Mohiuddinnagar to Mohan Nagar following an NDA victory in Bihar elections, citing the elimination of "colonial symbols" as part of cultural heritage preservation. The renaming proposal mirrors similar changes implemented in Uttar Pradesh but faces opposition from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who previously rejected comparable suggestions for his birthplace.
