We could of course call ourselves the Alliance for Betterment, Harmony And Responsible Advancement for Tomorrow (BHARAT).

Then perhaps the ruling party might stop this fatuous game of changing names.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor took a dig at the government over the India-Bharat naming controversy, quipping the opposition bloc could call itself 'BHARAT' - Alliance for Betterment, Harmony And Responsible Advancement for Tomorrow. His remark came after President Murmu's G20 invite addressed her as President of 'Bharat' instead of 'India', sparking furore. Tharoor jibed that perhaps then the ruling party might stop the "fatuous game of changing names". Earlier, he had said there's no constitutional objection to 'Bharat' but hoped government won't dispense with 'India'. His latest quip refers to opposition alliance 'INDIA'.
