Surat Fish Market Named After PM Modi Sparks Controversy

The market, located in the heart of Surat, was officially renamed by a local council meeting on Tuesday. Traders argue that the name misrepresents the market’s identity and could confuse customers. "We are not a political entity," said a shop owner, adding that the change was a marketing ploy. The council defended the decision, citing a desire to honor the national leader. The controversy has sparked debate over the appropriateness of naming public spaces after political figures.
