In February 2022, the MP government changed the name of the Hoshangabad district to Narmadapuram and the name of its Babai town was changed to Makhan Nagar. Babai is the birthplace of renowned poet Makhanlal Chaturvedi. And in November 2021, Bhopal’s Habibganj railway station was renamed after the tribal queen Rani Kamalapati.
State BJP secretary Rajnish Agrawal had claimed that changing the name of Nasrullaganj was an old demand of local citizens.
It is pertinent to mention that assembly polls are due in Madhya Pradesh this year-end.
