Government of Madhya Pradesh (India) recently declared to change the name of Bhopal to Bhojpal, which is not only unacceptable by natives but also to many people living in India and abroad. This is a total Political agenda created by the government. It can even cause cultural impact. This petition is a voice for everyone who doesn't want this change. Democracy means, by the people, for the people but our politicians doesn't want to listen to anyone they just want to change the name of Bhopal. Saving the name of bhopal is saving the democracy of our country. Please Support us invite every Bhopali u know. Proud to be a Bhopali...

The scale of current support confirms that this move lacks public mandate. I am now drafting a formal request for a meeting with government officials to present these objections directly. Expect an update regarding our next steps once I have a confirmed response from their office.

Ridiculous. they should be focusing on actual problems like potholes and garbage instead of playing with names.
