Some traders have objected to the naming, pointing to the Prime Minister's vegetarian lifestyle and personal beliefs as reasons for the decision being inappropriate. The Surat Municipal Corporation has clarified that the official naming process for the market remains incomplete. However, the Surat Fish Merchant Association stated that its members independently passed a resolution to name the market after the Prime Minister. The dispute has drawn attention to the intersection of political symbolism and cultural sensitivities around food practices.
