Meanwhile, amid a row over G20 dinner invites by Rashtrapati Bhavan signed in the name of ‘President of Bharat’ instead of ‘President of India’, Kharge launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre saying the BJP was “nervous” about the Opposition alliance I.N.D.I.A and so they are mulling the name change of the country.
Addressing a Kisan Sammelan in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara earlier in the day, Kharge said, “They (BJP) are frightened by the Opposition bloc I.N.D.I.A and so they are mulling changing the name of the country to 'Bharat'. It is written in the Constitution that India means Bharat. We (the Congress) have already harped on 'Bharat Jodo' (during the foot march taken out by party leader Rahul Gandhi). Every time we think of the welfare of the people, they (BJP) either try to tarnish our image or mislead the people of the country.”
The Congress President also lashed out at the BJP saying the party has no achievement to boast of while in power at Centre and alleged that all their schemes have only benefitted the rich and the powerful, while the poor and the middle class were left to fend for themselves.
