India’s main opposition leader says that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans to change the country’s name from India to Bharat is absurd. The Modi government’s decision to replace the name with a Sanskrit word in dinner invitations for attendees of the two-day G20 summit in New Delhi led to a major uproar. Gandhi, the leader of the opposition Congress party, says the government’s plan to change the name is a diversionary tactic. The Congress party leader has accused Modi of favouring big industrialists and sought an investigation against the billionaire Adani, who controls the Adani Group, for alleged financial violations.
