India - Bharat debate: Old video of Lalu Prasad Yadav explaining difference goes viral

Amid a political debate over the possible renaming of India to Bharat, an old interview clip of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav is going viral.

In the video, Lalu is seen cleaning his teeth with a Neem twig. When the interviewer asks if he is able to get Neem twigs in Delhi, Lalu replies that it's difficult because Delhi is 'India', while Patna is 'Bharat'.

Speculation that India may be renamed started doing the rounds when a G20 invitation sent on behalf of President Droupadi Murmu referred to her as President of Bharat, instead of India.
