As a tribute to former UP chief ministerKalyan Singh, the UP government on Monday announced that one road each in six districts Ayodhya, Lucknow, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Etah and Prayagraj would be renamed after the stalwart saffron party leader who passed away in Lucknow on August 21.

Sources said PWD is contemplating renaming the road leading to Ramjanmabhoomi in Ayodhya where the Ram Temple is coming up as Kalyan Singh Marg.
The other five districts, too, have been strategically selected. Prayagraj is an important Hindu religious centre, while Lucknow is the state capital. Atrauli

in Aligarh was Kalyans birthplace and he won nine UP assembly from the seat since 1967. He lost it only in 1980 to Anwar Khan of Congress. After leaving the BJP in 1999, he had formed Jan Kranti Party (Rashtrawadi) and won from Atrauli in 2002 assembly elections.
