From thunderously hailing it as the Modi government’s landmark decision to a subdued, barely-there and at best, defensive, reaction on its second anniversary, demonetisation now seems like the proverbial albatross around the BJP’s neck.

With the 2019 Lok Sabha elections around the corner, Yogi Adityanath is a man on a mission — a nomenclature traversing one.

The UP chief minister’s governance priorities, it appears, nowadays revolve around renaming towns and districts in Uttar Pradesh that have ‘Muslim-sounding’ names.

Less than a month after Allahabad was re-christened as Prayagraj on the approval of his cabinet, Adityanath renamed Faizabad district as Ayodhya district Tuesday. The efforts, the chief minister said, was him merely ‘restoring’ history as it ought to have been — bereft of Muslim rulers.
