Former Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has demanded that the stadium be named after Sardar Patel.
Mathunga to name stadium … Former Gujarat Chief Minister scolds Modi!
Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning announced that the Rajiv Gandhi Kale Ratna, the highest award given in the field of sports, will be renamed. Following the growing demand for Dayan Chand to be nominated for the Kalaratna Award across India, he announced that the Kale Ratna Award will be known as the Major Dayan Chand Kale Ratna Award.

This provoked strong opposition among Congressmen. The Congress has strongly criticized the BJP government for changing the name of the town and now the name of the award. They raised their voices against changing the name of Rajiv Gandhi, who sacrificed his life for the country.
Former Gujarat Chief Minister Shankar Singh Vakhela has tweeted that if Rajiv Gandhi’s name is changed, Prime Minister Modi’s name should also be changed. In that post, he mentioned that just as Prime Minister Modi had changed the Rajiv Gandhi Kale Ratna Award to the Major Dayanand Kale Ratna Award, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad should be renamed as Sardar Patel Stadium.
