Kolkata, 10 September (HS): Speaking at ‘Chai pe Charcha’ programme in Kharagpur city, BJP national vice president Dilip Ghosh on Sunday said that India will be renamed as Bharat and those not liking it are free to leave the country.
”When our party comes to power in West Bengal, we will remove all statues of foreigners in Kolkata,” said the Medinipur BJP MP.
”India will be renamed as Bharat. Those not liking it are free to leave the country,” he said.
Rahul Sinha, another senior BJP leader from the State, said that a country cannot have two names and this is the high time to change the name as world leaders are present in New Delhi to attend the G-20 summit.
However, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Santanu Sen alleged that the BJP was trying to divert attention from real issues as it is afraid of the Opposition I.N.D.I.A alliance.
Notably, the opposition parties led by Congress have formed the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to take on the BJP in Lok Sabha polls due next year.
