New Delhi: Amidst growing speculation of the potential renaming of India to 'Bharat,' Union Minister Anurag Thakur has categorically stated that these claims are merely "rumors" and lack substance.
 
The controversy unfolded when a G20 dinner invitation was issued in the name of the 'President of Bharat,' deviating from the traditional 'President of India' designation. 
 
It's important to note that the Indian Constitution officially refers to the country as both 'India' and 'Bharat' within its text, and this dual nomenclature has existed for decades.
