Even the present Vijayawada bus stand is changed from "Telugu Satavahana Pranganam" to Pandit Nehru Bus Stand. Majority of the citizens are also asking to change this name. But government is not willing to create any controversies and thought of keeping names for new buildings/offices after famous Telugu personalities.
