Twitter erupts after Motera ground renamed as Narendra Modi stadium, opinions divided

New Delhi: President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday inaugurated the newly-built Motera Stadium which was renamed the Narendra Modi Stadium ahead of the pink-ball Test between India and England. Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju were also in attendance on the occasion.

Many are terming the naming of the stadium after PM Modi a big name game. Some said since PM Modi is involved in active politics, it is inappropriate to do such a thing.

क्रिकेट स्टेडियम का नाम बदलना ही था तो किसी महान भारतीय क्रिकेटर के नाम पर भी तो रखा जा सकता था ।।

शायद ये क्रिकेट व खेल जगत को सम्मान होता ।।🙏🏻#MoteraCricketStadium to #NarendramodiStadium #MoteraStadium

I hope @narendramodi ji rejects this idea of naming a cricket stadium after him. I don't think it sits well at all. Let it be called what it already is.
