BJP welcomes rechristening of Mughal Gardens

Several BJP leaders on Saturday welcomed the decision of renaming of Mughal Gardens to 'Amrit Udyan' as "historic" with one saying it shows that India is coming out of slave mentality. Rashtrapati Bhavan's famed Mughal Gardens on Saturday was renamed 'Amrit Udyan'.

Tweeting a video of pasting of a sign board bearing the name 'Amrit Udyan', Giriraj Singh said, "Welcome welcome welcome."

Sambit Patra termed the move historic, and said, "In order to come out of 'slavery mentality' in 'Amrit Kaal', another historic decision of Modi government."


The "Mughal Garden" located in Rashtrapati Bhavan will now be known as "Amrit Udyan", he added.

BJP MP Poonam Mahajan said President Draupadi Murmu ji's decision of renaming Mughal Gardens to Amrit Udyan is "truly historic coming from our country's celebration of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav."
