Only Motera Stadium Renamed After PM Modi, Complex Name Not Changed: Centre | Read

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.
