Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has set the stage for the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by renaming the PPP-built Habibganj railway station after Rani Kamlapati, the 18th-century Gond queen.
“I thank PM Modi for renaming Bhopal’s Habibganj railway station after the tribal queen, Rani Kamlapati. She was the pride of Gthe ond society. She was the last Hindu queen of Bhopal,” Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted in Hindi.
Two days ahead of Mr. Modi’s scheduled inauguration of the first modernised and re-developed railway station at a cost of ₹100 crore, the BJP Government had shot a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs for renaming it.
