Launching a fresh attack on the Centre, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claimed that invites to a G20 summit dinner hosted at the Rashtrapati Bhawan had ‘President of Bharat’ inscribed on them instead of the customary ‘President of India’.
“So the news is indeed true. Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on Sept 9th in the name of ‘President of Bharat’ instead of the usual ‘President of India’ (sic),” Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
In a swipe at the BJP-led Union government, the Congress leader went on, “Now, Article 1 in the Constitution can read: ‘Bharat, that was India, shall be a Union of States.’ But now even this ‘Union of States’ is under assault.”
