New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday alleged Nehru Park in Budhni has been named after Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s elder son whereas the title of his youthful brother is given to a different park. Budhni is the meeting constituency of chief minister Chouhan. The ruling BJP mentioned Congress should have no objection if native folks have named these parks of their city out of their love (for Chouhan’s sons). “The name of Nehru Park (named after Jawaharlal Nehru) has been changed after Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s elder son Kartikey Singh Chouhan while another park is named after younger son Kunal,” alleged former minister and Congress chief Ajay Singh.
Notably, the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society in Delhi has been renamed as Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library Society, prompting sharp reactions from Congress. Singh accused the BJP of erasing the names of nice personalities who made vital contributions to the liberty battle. The Congress chief puzzled what’s the contribution of Kartikeya and Kunal to the nation.

“It has been a tradition to name public parks, corners, roads and buildings after the personalities who contributed to the society and the country.”Shivraj ji ought to inform what’s the contribution of Kartikeya and Kunal. Where Kartikeya stands in entrance of Jawaharlal Nehru, who contributed immensely to the nation’s independence and to constructing a brand new India,” Singh requested.4
If Budhni’s native physique has renamed these parks out of sycophancy then why Chouhan did not cease them, he questioned. When requested about Singh’s allegations, Madhya Pradesh BJP spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi mentioned many public locations are named after members of a single household throughout the nation.
