BJP hits out at Congress MLA for objecting to name Metro rail after Raja Bhoj
The state BJP slammed Congress MLA Arif Masood for raising objections over naming Bhopal Metro as `Bhoj Metro Rail'.
BJP leaders said that it is sheer indiscipline to raise questions over Raja Bhoj, the 11th Century ruler of the Parmar dynasty, which once ruled the entire region.
During the foundation-laying of Bhopal Metro Rail project, chief minister Kamal Nath announced that Metro will be called `Bhoj Metro Rail'.
To this Congress lawmaker Masood said, "I request CM Kamal Nath to name the project as Bhopal Metro, as the city has several other things named after `Raja Bhoj”.
On the other hand, BJP welcomed Nath's announcement wholeheartedly.
