      Speaking in the Rajya Sabha on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that there are some sections which even raised objections to the names of government schemes. He said that some even took issue with the inclusion of Sanskrit words in the scheme names.

      Citing an unverified news report, PM Modi said that 600 government schemes had been named after members of the Nehru-Gandhi family.

      He also cited instances of Opposition leaders objecting to exclusion of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the ruling party's speeches. PM said that if there was an oversight, it would be fixed by the BJP.

      He escalated the attack by asking why Congress leaders did not use the Nehru surname even though it belonged to an eminent personality.
