The Motera Cricket Stadium which is hosting the 3rd Test between India and England has been renamed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As you might have imagined, this has created quite an uproar on social media.

Past: They opposed naming Ahmedabad Airport after “Sardar Patel”
Present: Motera Stadium renamed to Narendra Modi Stadium
Future: Narendra Modi International Airport, Gujarat.

This honor is generally reserved for the departed noble souls who aren’t among us anymore. So ideally it should have been Nirav Modi Stadium. #MoteraCricketStadium https://t.co/AvKpMQephp

This officially proves that @narendramodi is a narcissist. Just waiting for bhakts to justify this. Ohh.. it’s already started. https://t.co/JdkNC7nMPm

Why take away the pleasure of ridiculing Congress for naming everything after the Gandhis https://t.co/jVTAxZWnDc

To be honest, I’m a little disappointed. No political leader should be having any sporting arenas named after them, be it Nehru, Indira/Rajiv Gandhi or Modi. Name sporting arenas after sportspersons. This is something which should be adhered to across political alignments. https://t.co/Rt2Ybtdr8g

Just In : RSS – BJP Government insults Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel once again.
— Anshuman Sail (@AnshumanSail) February 24, 2021
Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad renamed from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel stadium to Narendra Modi Stadium. Sardar Patel had banned RSS in 1948.
Some folks & bhakts attacked Mayawati for building her own statues. Same folk are noticeably silent as Narendra Modi renaming Motera stadium as Narendra Modi stadium. Double standards much?

What a fucking self serving narcissistic wanker.
It’s a bit on the nose at this point, isn’t it? Well, can’t say nobody saw it coming!
