What happened
Ajay Rai criticized the government's move to name Jewar airport after Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He argued that the government should prioritize addressing unemployment, inflation, and farmers’ concerns instead of renaming public facilities. Rai stated that public infrastructure should be evaluated based on its contribution to economic growth and the employment opportunities it creates.

Why it matters
The criticism challenges the government's prioritization of symbolic infrastructure projects over core economic issues. Rai emphasized that a government's performance should be judged by employment generation and fair prices for farmers, rather than the naming of public institutions.
