It all started with a G20 dinner invitation that was sent on the behalf of President Droupadi Murmu.

While it triggered speculation about whether the government was moving to change the name of the country officially from India to Bharat, another confirmation in favour of Bharat was delivered as PM Modi has also been referred to as the Prime Minister of Bharat at an official document of his visit to Indonesia.
As the opposition bloc, also known as INDIA that stands for Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, questioned the unilateral move, the old video of key INDIA leader Lalu Prasad Yadav surfaced. In the video, he could be seen using a neem datun as he was asked whether he ever used a toothbrush. “No No, I use toothbrush in Delhi,” Lalu Prasad Yadav said explaining that Delhi was India where it was not easy to get hold of a neem datun, but Patna was Bharat where neem datun was easily available.
