India vs Bharat: A video featuring Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav is becoming widely popular on social media amid a dispute over G20 dinner invitations that were allegedly delivered on behalf of the “President of Bharat”. In the video, Yadav makes a comparison between India and Bharat, claiming that Patna belongs to Bharat but the national capital of the nation, Delhi, belongs to India.
Opposition Alleges India-to-Bharat Renaming Attempt
The G20 dinner invitation, sent in the name of “The Prime Miniter of Bharat,” has gone viral on social media amid claims from opposition parties that the administration is attempting to rename the nation from “India” to “Bharat.” After it was made public, a number of politicians became involved. ‘India’ is an acceptable term for the nation, and efforts to alter it to ‘Bharat’ are not necessary, according to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who made the statement on Tuesday. He added that the Constitution is referred to as the “Constitution of India” and that the word “India” is included in it.
Politicians Divided Over ‘India vs Bharat’ Name Change
“In our Constitution, it (‘India’) is incorporated and it is called the ‘Constitution of India’. ‘India’ is an accepted word for our country. Making it Bharat, I don’t think it is required,” Siddaramaiah told reporters. Sitaram Yechury, general secretary of the CPI(M), claimed on Tuesday that the BJP’s “immature reaction” to the opposition dubbing its coalition INDIA was the cause. “This is very strange…. It is the Constitution of India. That is how the country has been known for centuries and that is how we have inherited our independent India. In the first article of the Constitution, we say, ‘India, that is Bharat, which is a union of states’,” the Left leader said. “Our diversity, plurality — everything is included in this. Why are they making this change? Are they aggrieved by the fact that a secular opposition has come together under the nomenclature of INDIA? Is that their problem? We do not know why they hate India so much,” he added. A new coalition was formed by the leaders of 26 opposition groups to take on the BJP in the upcoming parliamentary elections. INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) was the name given to the new coalition.
