Earlier, the government had renamed Faizabad district as Ayodhya and Allahabad as Prayagraj. 

After becoming Chief Minister of the state in 2017, Yogi Adityanath renamed Mughalsarai Junction railway station. Adityanath's proposal to change the name of the station was approved by the Central government and in 2018, it was rechristened as Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Junction. 

The Yogi Cabinet also renamed Mughalsarai tehsil as Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Tehsil.
