He noted a pattern where Prime Minister Modi introduces new diversionary tactics whenever issues like Adani and crony capitalism are raised by the opposition. Rahul Gandhi found it intriguing that this controversy emerged just after his press conference on Mr Adani.

Speculation Abounds

It’s important to note that the potential renaming of India as Bharat is speculative, as there has been no official government indication of such a change. Prime Minister Modi has advised ministers to exercise restraint in this ongoing debate. However, with a special Parliament session scheduled from September 18 to 22, speculation continues about the possibility of a name change. While some BJP leaders support the idea, the opposition has raised questions about whether it’s linked to the opposition alliance’s name, INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance).
