Chief Minister of UP Yogi Adityanath has announced to change the name of the Mughal Museum being built at Agra. He said on Monday that the Mughal Museum under construction in Agra will be established in the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This museum, being based on the eastern entryway of the Taj Mahal, is a project of around 150 crores.

He said that the Uttar Pradesh government will sustain on patriotic thoughts. Yogi said that one needs to separate oneself from the symbol of a servitude mindset, and advance subjects which are beneficial for the country. He stated that Mughals cannot be  made legends. Drawing his usual ideological card, Yogi stated that Chhatrapati Shivaji can be identified as our legend.

CM Yogi has coordinated the travel industry division of the UP government to make a move in this regard. Principal Secretary of Tourism, Jitendra Kumar has been ordered to take action in this matter. According to officials of the tourism department, Mughal objects and documents will be displayed in this museum to be built in Agra. Apart from these, things related to the period of Chhatrapati Shivaji will also be a part of this museum.

The UP government has set a target to spread the glory of Chhatrapati Shivaji through this museum. The government, through the officials of the tourism department, has instructed to make arrangements to display as many things as possible from the period of the early Maratha Empire in the museum. Apart from this, special facilities are also been built for tourists.
