The iconic Mughal Gardens at the Rashtrapati Bhavan will now be known as ‘Amrit Udyan’ which would open for the public from January 31, according to an official statement issued on Saturday.

BJP leaders hailed the decision, saying it shredded yet another symbol of colonialism while the opposition parties advised the government to focus on creating jobs and controlling inflation instead.

The government had last year renamed Delhi’s famed Rajpath as “Kartavya Path”. The renaming of the stretch and other institutions is in line with the Centre’s effort to remove any trace of the colonial mindset, the government has maintained.
