will it happen in 2018 itself, or (possibly) next year? (don’t know if the GOI’s seal of approval is needed to officiate or if any state elections can impede in decisions)

[excerpted]
Over the years, there have been a number of attempts by BJP-led governments of Uttar Pradesh to rename Allahabad to Prayagraj. In 1992, the planned rename was shelved when the chief minister, Kalyan Singh, was forced to resign following the Babri Masjid demolition. 2001 saw another attempt led by the government of Rajnath Singh which remained unfulfilled. In October 2018, the cabinet of the Yogi Adityanath-led government endorsed the move which now awaits approval from the central government.

Bro! Your image editing skills are praiseworthy.

Thanks for the tag. What is the meaning of Prayag?

do ‘we’? https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/535122/medium/53393677.gif?1539787726

isn’t majority of those who vote, do not even use the internet (not really like us at-least)?

and another major group simply decide based on who paid/gifted how much money (it is reminiscent of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_Chr...an days. not to cite any single group out, but “lure” is what i meant)

i don’t think even 10-15% of independent voters (not influenced by family/ friends) might be those who have ‘meaningful work’ as main criteria.


i think this topic became https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/535123/medium/533936720.gif?1539787730 political after all https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/535124/medium/533936762.gif?1539787733 and thus needs to be shifted.

Ganga teer jo Prayag station hai, uska vyarth ‘downgrade’ sa ho gaya.

PRG serves to reduce the load on the main station of the town and is already well known. if similar new name comes, it’ll clash or create confusion.
of-course PRG is closer to the banks of Ganga and not in the city heart, so locals will know.
