Rahul had approached the Surat court earlier this year, seeking permission to change his name from Rahul to Rahul Modi. The court, however, had rejected his plea, stating that he had no valid reason to do so.
Following the Surat court’s verdict, Rahul has now approached the Gujarat High Court, challenging the decision. In his petition, Rahul has claimed that the lower court had erred in dismissing his plea and that he has a genuine reason to add the ‘Modi’ suffix to his name.
Rahul has also argued that several people across the country have already changed their names to include ‘Modi’ as a tribute to the Prime Minister, and that he should be allowed to do the same.
The case has generated significant interest across the country, with many people debating the legality and ethics of changing one’s name for political reasons. While some have criticized the trend of adding the ‘Modi’ suffix as an attempt to curry favor with the ruling party, others have defended it as a legitimate expression of support for the Prime Minister.
The Gujarat High Court is expected to hear Rahul’s petition in the coming weeks, and the outcome of the case could have significant implications for the larger debate over the use of the ‘Modi’ surname.
