The use of ‘President of Bharat’ instead of ‘President of India’ on G20 summit invitations has sparked a political controversy. Opposition parties like AAP, Congress, and regional leaders criticized the change, while the BJP defended it.

Arvind Kejriwal questioned whether the country’s name would change to ‘BJP’ if the opposition alliance chose ‘Bharat’ as its name. Raghav Chadha emphasized that India belongs to all citizens, not just one party.

Leaders like Mamata Banerjee and MK Stalin argued that ‘India’ is well-established globally, and there’s no need for a name change. Sharad Pawar echoed this sentiment, stating that no one has the right to change the country’s name.

Tejashwi Yadav highlighted that ‘India’ is deeply embedded in various aspects of the nation, from the Constitution to passports.

Congress criticized the government for what they see as “distorting history and dividing India.”

 

On the other hand, BJP leaders welcomed the use of ‘Bharat’ and accused Congress of being anti-national.

Dharmendra Pradhan viewed the change as a positive step against a colonial mindset.

Amitabh Bachchan’s one-liner was seen as a contribution to the ongoing debate.

The issue has sparked a heated political discussion, with different parties expressing their viewpoints on the name change from ‘India’ to ‘Bharat’ on official invitations.
