A political row erupted last week after the invites for the G20 dinner called President Murmu "President of Bharat" instead of the usual "President of India".
Amid the India versus Bharat debate, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took a jibe at the BJP-led central government saying he "does not really have a problem with either of the names" since both are used in the Constitution.
Addressing a press conference, Gandhi said, "It (the Constitution) starts with "India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States". So, I don't really see a problem there. Both words are perfectly acceptable."
"…But I think maybe we irritated the government a little bit because we named our coalition ‘INDIA’. So that got more heated. Now they decided to change the name of the country...I mean, we could always give our coalition a second name as well. But, people act in strange ways,” the Congress leader added.
