Previously, V K Singh had written to the Union Minister for Urban Development, proposing that Akbar Road be renamed after  Maharana Pratap Road.

The Minister had further added, "I would request you to honour this great son of India by naming the Akbar Road as Maharana Pratap Road or a suitable important road in the Lutyen Zone in his name."
