Prof K Nageshwar: Stadium Name After Modi Replacing Patel (Video)

|| Stadium Name After Modi Replacing Patel || Amid a controversy over a cricket stadium in Gujarat being renamed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government today said the name change involves only the Motera stadium and the entire sports complex continues to be named after Sardar Patel. Soon after President Ram Nath Kovind inaugurated the world's largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, which will now be known as Narendra Modi stadium, social media was flooded with remarks including by some leaders of the Congress and other opposition parties who alleged that the renaming exercise amounted to an "insult" to Sardar Patel. Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, however, said only the Motera stadium has been renamed and the complex continues to be named after Vallabhbhai Patel. Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who was present alongside Mr Javadekar at a media briefing after a cabinet meeting, also took a swipe at the Congress leaders, asking whether party chief Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi have so far praised the world's tallest statue of Sardar Patel erected at Kevadiya in Gujarat. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/only-motera-stadium-renamed-after-prime-minister-narendra-modi-complex-name-remains-after-sardar-patel-centre-2377757
