At a press conference in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district, the NCP chief said, “I don’t understand why the ruling party is perturbed over a name related to the country.”

On being asked if India’s name will be changed in the constitution, Sharad Pawar said, “I don’t have any information on it.” He further added, “There will be deliberation on this in the meeting, but no one has the right to change the name (of the country). No one can change the name.”
