Guwahati, July 19: Hours after the opposition parties renamed their alliance as INDIA, the Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma removed the word “India” from his Twitter bio and changed it to Bharat.

Earlier, in a tweet Himanta Biswa Sarma had said, “Our civilisation 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.”

CM was seen making changes in his Twitter bio after Twitterati pointed out the name India in his bio.

Here is how Twitterati reacted- 

Some said- Make in India, Start Up India, New India now no India.

However, even if the Chief Minister of Assam removed India from his bio, the name India is still displayed on his location bio.

His bio still shows “Guwahati, India” on the location bar.

Also, Congress leader Manish Tiwari wrote, ” Interesting : Twitter handle @BJP4India Assam CM @himantabiswa Claims pivotal conflict between Bharat & India. Does @BJP4India have a pivotal conflict with Bharat ?”
