Mohan Singh Bisht (File Photo) NEW DELHI: The Delhi assembly will consider a resolution on Friday, to be put forward by deputy speaker Mohan Singh Bisht , to change the name of his Mustafabad assembly constituency to Shiv Vihar, "in view of the sentiments of constituency voters." The list of business of the Assembly showed that Bisht, an MLA from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will introduce a private member resolution: "This House resolves that the name of the Mustafabad assembly constituency may be changed to Shiv Vihar in view of the sentiments of constituency voters." He will move the resolution post-lunch during ongoing budget session, according to PTI.
In a conversation with ANI, Bisht alleged Mustafabad, a seat established after the 2008 delimitation, received its current name due to "certain individuals' political interests." "I have given a proposal to change the name Mustafabad. Between 1998 and 2008, when I was the MLA, the constituency was known as Karawal Nagar.
Mustafabad is not named after any religious guru. There used to be a property dealer here by the name of Mustafa, who, along with some political persons, changed the name of the constituency to Mustafabad for political gains. Today, everyone is demanding the renaming to Shiv Vihar," Bisht said.
He has repeatedly called for renaming the seat claiming it has a "higher population of Hindus" who want its name changed to Shiv Vihar or Shiv Puri. Mustafabad is in northeast Delhi, which was rocked by f.
