The renaming has triggered a war of words between Congress and the ruling BJP. Earlier, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said "Jawaharlal Nehru is known for the work he did and not just his name". Gandhi made the remark as he embarked on a two-day visit to Ladakh. Jairam Ramesh said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a single point agenda of "denying and defaming" the Nehruvian legacy.
"Modi possesses a huge bundle of fears, complexes and insecurities, especially when it comes to our first and longest serving Prime Minister. He has had a single point agenda of denying, distorting, defaming and destroying Nehru and the Nehruvian legacy," Ramesh said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "He (Modi) has erased N and put P instead. That P is really for pettiness and peeve," the Congress leader further said.
