Narendra Modi Vs Sardar Patel : The Renaming Game | Motera | Midweek Matters | Parakala Prabhakar

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this week’s Midweek Matters, Parakala Prabhakar deconstructs the renaming of what is now the world’s largest cricket Stadium. The stadium which was called Sardar Patel Cricket Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad was last week renamed as Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. Parakala analyses what it could mean to the legacy of Sardar Patel, what it tells about the BJP leadership's sense of its supreme leader Narendra Modi's place in history. He asks the question if the Prime Minister is so insecure as to allow his followers to name a structure after him while he’s still in office. And replacing Sardar Patel's name with his name. BJP and especially Narendra Modi have vowed to rehabilitate Sardar Patel, an icon who they say was meted out injustice by the Nehru Gandhi dynasty. Parakala expresses the hope that the PM will rescind the decision and put the embarrassing saga behind him.
