BJP Leaders Demand to Rename Taj Mahal as "Tejolay" or "Tejo Mahal"

BJP leaders demanded to change the name of the Taj Mahal to "Tejolay" or "Tejo Mahal", on September 15. The demand came after Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath renamed the 'Mughal Museum' to 'Shivaji Maharaj Museum'. BJP leader Vinay Katiyar claimed that the Taj Mahal was a Shiva Temple and hence should be renamed. Though the opposition parties criticized the act, BJP leaders widely supported the name change.
