‘Taj Mahal will be Ram Mahal soon in Yogiraj’: BJP’s Surendra Singh

Earlier, BJP MLA reiterated his demand for renaming the Taj Mahal in Agra either Ram or Krishna Mahal

New Delhi: BJP MLA Surendra Singh said that very soon Taj Mahal will be Ram Mahal under the leadership of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

He further said, ‘Taj Mahal was the first Shiva temple.’

Praising UP SM he said, ‘Yogi ji has come in UP as a descendant of Shiv ji.’

This is not the first time that the minister has said something like this.

Earlier, Surendra Singh reiterated his demand for renaming the Taj Mahal in Agra either Ram or Krishna Mahal “to give the monument an Indian identity.” The reiteration came a day after he had made the suggestion at a gathering in Ballia.

“He should change the name of Mughalsarai tehsil as well. Names like Taj Mahal may also be replaced with Ram Mahal or Krishna Mahal… they should get Indian identities,” said Singh, an MLA from Bairia in Ballia district.

He said some can even suggest names like that of late ex-President A P J Abdul Kalam. Singh said he has no objection but added the names representing places, buildings and roads should at least be “Indian”.
