India or Bharat? Opposition's new name, Himanta's deleted tweet reignite debate

India Today  

It's an age-old debate that has got a fresh lease of life. BJP leader and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was quick to tweet "Congress for India, Modi ji for Bharat". Ultimately, the Constituent Assembly of India settled on a compromise of using both names in Article 1 of the Indian Constitution, stating that "India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States." Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted, "Congress for India, Modi ji for Bharat". "Surplus of sour grapes," the Congress scoffed, reminding Himanta Biswa Sarma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet schemes like 'Digital India' and 'Skill India'.
