Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Wednesday said that the Opposition coalition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) offered the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) an opportunity to tamper with the Constitution over the issue of the country’s name and further alleged an internal collusion between the INDIA bloc and the ruling party.
“Opposition by using the name INDIA offered the BJP opportunity to tamper with the Constitution over the issue of the country’s name. Also the controversy seems a conspiracy and well-planned strategy of the BJP and the opposition. This should be condemned,” said Ms. Mayawati, in an statement.
The former four-time Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister urged the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognisance over the issue and hoped the apex court would ban all political parties and fronts from carrying the country’s name.
