Rename Bihar station, says BJP mantri; learn history, retorts JDU
Bihar minister Niraj Kumar Singh seeks to rename places linked to historical tyrants, including Bakhtiyarpur. However, JD(U) insists Bakhtiyarpur is named after Sufi saint Bakhtiyar Kaki, not invader Bakhtiyar Khilji, citing historical records. This debate has reignited discussions on renaming places to remove symbols of colonial rule.
