MGR's seems to be the most preferred Road name in most Indian cities

... not to forget Rajiv Gandhi (HYD airport, freeway, sea link, countless roads), Indira Gandhi (DEL airport, parks and gardens, and streets), and then in the state of Maharashtra of which Bombay is the capital, everything, and I mean everything, is named after Chhatrapati Shivaji. They even want to build an island off the city's southern tip with yet another statue of his. Nuts.
