BJP MP Writes Letter To HM Amit Shah 

In his letter to Minister Shah, he wrote, "Lucknow, capital of Uttar Presh, which according to local belief was gifted by Marya Purushottam Lord Shri Ram to Ayodhya King Shri Laxman ji in Treta Yug and for that reason it was named Lakhanpur and Laxmanpur, but later in 48th century, Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula renamed and changed it to Lucknow. It has been called Lucknow in same trition." 

He ded, "It is worth mentioning here that today in a country that is rich in glorious cultural heritage, it seems completely wrong to give a signal of slavery by telling stories of luxury and wastefulness of Nawabs of Lucknow to our future generation even in ‘Amrit Kaal’. Due to this, Lord Dalhousie acquired Awh and merged it with British Empire and Nawab Wajid Ali Shah accepted British subordination."

He took to Twitter and mentioned, "I request you to change name of capital of Uttar Presh Lucknow to Lakhanpur or Laxmanpur in Amrit Kaal to preserve India’s cultural heritage and combine glorious history by erasing symbol of slavery."
