Answer:

At that time the nationwide trend was to rename cities in native language. Elangovan said Madras was renamed as Chennai in memory of the Telugu ruler Chennappa. He also recalled the protest led by late DMK President and Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi to change the name of Dalmiapuram -a North Indian- to Kallakud
