Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, announced the renaming of Minto Hall, the Old Vidhan Sabha in Bhopal, as Kushabhau Thakre Hall.
Minto Hall is the same building where the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly was held for 40 years.
Kushabhau Thakre is the person who created many stalwarts in the BJP, including former chief ministers Sunderlal Patwa, Kailash Joshi, and Virendra Kumar Saklecha as well as Vikram Verma, Faggan Singh Kulaste, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
The Madhya Pradesh government had earlier changed the name of Habibganj station to Rani Kamalapati railway station and renamed Pataalpani railway station near Indore after tribal hero Tantya Bheel.
