NEW DELHI: After a tussle over the 26-party opposition naming itself INDIA, an acronym for Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, the ruling BJP and the principal opponent Congress have now started competing with each to appropriate ‘Bharat Mata’.
Both the prominent parties are trying to prove that they are better well-wishers of Bharat Mata, which stands for the people of the country. The scramble assumes significance in the light of the 2024 Lok Sabha election which is about seven months away and Bharat Mata evokes sentimental attachment of the people, particularly the majority Hindus, with the country.
