As with the renaming of Faizabad railway station, the renaming of Faizabad and Allahabad in 2018 also came months before an election - the 2019 Lok Sabha polls
The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to rename the Faizabad railway station as Ayodhya Cantonment railway station, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's office tweeted Saturday, in a decision likely to ruffle opposition parties' feathers ahead of next year's Assembly election. #UPCM श्री @myogiadityanath जी ने फैजाबाद रेलवे जंक्शन का नाम "अयोध्या कैन्ट" करने का निर्णय लिया है। @spgoyal@sanjaychapps1@74_alokpic.twitter.com/P8qg4Gc2P3
The decision follows the 2018 renaming of Faizabad to Ayodhya and calling Allahabad as Prayagraj.
Back then a defiant Yogi Adityanath had dismissed criticism of the renaming spree, saying "we did what we felt was good" and that "where there is a need (his) government will take required steps".
