speaking Caribbean who would dare to name a cricket stadium after himself. Modi is something else.
Aren’t there enough cricket heroes in India to name stadia after?
Dat is way too vulgar.

There is not one Prime Minister in the English
.......
He was president of the Gujarat Cricket Association at that time.”
Adding his bit to the Gujarat Cricket Association’s rationale for naming the stadium after Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah said, “We have decided to name it after the country’s prime minister.
It was Modiji’s dream project.”
The GCA is a trust and not a government body but its current president is Amit Shah. Earlier, it was headed by Modi.
Its obvious Modi didnt name it after himself the Gujarat Cricket Association did.
An historian senior moment...

I cannot believe what you wrote there.
SURELY you know how things work in places like that. Which is EXACTLY Christine’s point.
In reply to Chrissy
You are exactly right.
There’s been plenty of commentary on this in India too.
Others who have had a public monument or a stadium or any public building named after themselves, in their lifetimes and while in power: Mussolini, Gaddafi, Hitler, Erdogan.
That’s all that needs to be said to understand the the naming of the stadium and understanding Modi.

Correction: who would be prepared to risk the political or electoral backlash if they dared to…
Modi did it because he can get away with it or it boosts his political advantage.

Caribbean PM's won't dare name a cricket stadium after themselves.
They name entire towns after themselves like your guy did with Linden.

I read the above its factual.It states what happened. In a democracy their is always some negativity.
I prefer to believe such rather than the threads gossip.
If you have facts to prove other wise show it.
Its simple refute what the GCA noted above.

You guys seem to be suggesting that Modi is very Burnham-like - a great complement if you ask me.
Lotsa places in Guyana will soon be named after Modi...according the Jeremy
