At the instigation of Prime Minister Narendra #Modi, an avenue built by the British and originally called the "Kingsway" has been renamed "Kartavya Path", which means "path of duty" in Hindi. More recently, Modi inaugurated a statue of Subhas Chandra Bose, a controversial Indian #freedomfighter, at the same spot where a statue of King George V had stood until the 1960s.
