Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sambit Patra made headlines when he
publicly referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the ‘Prime Minister of
Bharat,’ sparking a discussion on the choice of terminology. Patra’s
statement came during a political event where he emphasized the use of
‘Bharat’ instead of ‘India’ to reflect the nation’s cultural and historical
roots. This move by a prominent BJP member has generated both support and
criticism, with some applauding it as a nod to India’s rich heritage and
others viewing it as a political statement.
