Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday announced the decision to rename the under-construction Mughal Museum in Agra after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the chief minister`s office said in a statement.
The Chief Minister made it clear that his government "always nurtured the nationalist ideology and anything which smacks of a subservient mentality will be done away with".
"How can our heroes be Mughals? The very name of Shivaji will invoke a feeling of nationalism and self-esteem," Chief Minister Yogi said while reviewing the developmental works in the Agra division.
The move assumes significance in view of the tussle between the BJP and the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra and efforts to link it with Maratha pride.
The Chief Minister directed to complete remaining works in Agra Smart City Project and asserted that this project is among the priorities of his government and should be taken up with the same urgency.
Adityanath said he was happy over Agra getting second-ranking at the national level and first among other Smart Cities in Uttar Pradesh in a recent ranking survey.He also asked to expedite the Metro and Airport projects of Agra and said that no project should suffer due to want of money and he would personally speak to the Centre if any requirement of money arises.
He said that the AMRUT and JNNURM schemes should also be given impetus.
"Out of a total of 19 works under the Agra Smart City project, four have been completed while 15 are in progress. The time-line of every work is prepared and all these works will be completed by August 2021," an official release said.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was reviewing the projects worth over Rs 10 crore and other mega developmental projects of Agra division comprising Agra, Firozabad, Mainpuri, and Mathura districts.
