NDTV
Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed that the British had named the country India, and that the struggle should be to liberate the nation from "colonial legacies".
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has removed "India" from his Twitter bio and added "Bharat" in its place after 26 opposition parties chose the name I.N.D.I.A to brand their united front as they plan to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Our civilisational conflict is pivoted around India and Bharat.The British named our country as India. We must strive to free ourselves from colonial legacies. Our forefathers fought for Bharat, and we will continue to work for Bharat .BJP for BHARAT
Taking a sharp dig at the opposition alliance's name, the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A), Mr Sarma claimed that the British had named the country India, and that the struggle should be to liberate the nation from "colonial legacies".
Mr Sarma's bio on Twitter which previously read, "Chief Minister of Assam, India", was promptly changed to "Chief Minister of Assam, Bharat" following the opposition's announcement.
