The decision of Mayawati, which was reversed by the government of Akhilesh Yadav in 2012. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has implemented the same decision. Yogi Adityanath has changed the name of Bhadohi district to Sant Ravidas Janpad in the program of Sant Shiromani Ravidas Ji Maharaj in Varanasi today. The issue was related to Dalit identity in Uttar Pradesh. Akhilesh Yadav was criticized for doing injustice to Dalit icons. The name of the Dalit great men after whom Mayawati had named districts and medical colleges was changed in the reign of Akhilesh Yadav. Since then this issue has always been raised by both Mayawati and the BJP to surround Akhilesh Yadav. Today, the Chief Minister also took this bet in this big program of Dalits. Although BJP's national president Nitin Naveen was also to come to this program, but his program was canceled at the last moment. It is being said that the national president of the BJP will once again announce the name of the Dalit saint in the name of Bhadohi politics after tomorrow's by-election in Bankipur.
