Babar Lane should be renamed after independence warrior Khudiram Bose, according to the Delhi BJP president.

At 24, Akbar Road, the Congress has its headquarters.

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), the civic body in charge of roads in central Delhi, the capital’s seat of power with senior government offices and residences, including those of the President and Prime Minister, has authorized the adjustments.

The NDMC council, a 13-member group headed by the chairperson, hears requests.

The rules say renaming requests should take into account history, sentiment and whether a personality needs to be acknowledged in that manner.

But the NDMC’s rules assert that renaming is an exception.

Since the BJP came to power in 2014, a renaming spree in Delhi and BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh have fuelled much controversy and debate.

In 2015, Aurangzeb Road was renamed after former President APJ Abdul Kalam. A year later, the Race Course Road, the elite address for the Prime Minister’s residence, was changed to “Lok Kalyan Marg”.
