Patna, Sep 5: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “scared” of the opposition coalition ‘INDIA’ and is the reason why his government shunned the word while referring to the country.
Tongue in cheek, he said Modi and the ruling BJP should rethink their preference for ‘Bharat’, used in a G20 dinner invite since the multi-party opposition has adopted ‘Badhega Bharat jeetega India’ as its catch-phrase.Yadav was replying to queries from journalists on the controversy that has arisen following invitation cards for a G20 dinner in Delhi mentioning Droupadi Murmu as ‘President of Bharat’. “Modi ji is so scared. I wonder what will he do to so many of his own initiatives like Make in India and Start Up India and numerous schemes,” said Yadav. (PTI)
