After Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath renamed famous cities of Uttar Pradesh and indicated that similar changes for other places are in the offing, his party leaders have not only lauded the move, but have also pressed for rechristening of cities such as Muzaffarnagar and Agra. A lot of these demands , BJP leaders say, are aimed at correcting historical wrongs. But others say there is scant evidence for such claims.
