In your opinion, which is the worst name change for a train and station respectively? For train, I'll go with the Netaji Mail. It's old name was proper considering it goes to Kalka(as the name suggests) and it has been known as the same for 150 years. There wasn't any political motivation either to change it's name considering the existing name had no connotations(contrast this with Mughalsarai Jn where the name change was done because the government had issues with the previous name; none of that issue with Kalka Mail).

If it takes a train to make the public remember a leader; then it is a dis service to the leader. Oh, and Gomoh is already named after him; as are tons of places in Bengal. The reason behind the change is less to acknowledge his struggle and more to capitalize on his legacy to gain votes. I would even go on to say that naming dozens of places on freedom fighters in hopes to gain political capital is akin to disrespecting them.
