News Desk: The Congress and the BJP are at odds in Assam after the Assam cabinet passed a resolution to rename Rajiv Gandhi National Park at Orang to Orang National Park.
On this, BJP spokesperson Pabitra Margherita said “It was a long pending demand that Orang National Park should get back its original name so after this cabinet decision, people are largely happy but only the Congress and some of its leaders like Gaurav Gogoi are unhappy. Each and everything of this country, should be named after one dynasty? Will people like it if the Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar were named after Sonia and Rajiv Gandhi? We have deep respect for the former Prime Minister but people are happy here with the name change”
Congress spokesperson Bobbeeta Sarma replied “I think these are actions of petty minds. Removing his name, cannot take away his contributions for the country, for Assam. We all know that Rajiv Gandhi was behind the Assam accord to bring peace to the state. He made an elected Congress government resign in those days to give in to the regional aspirations of the people of Assam. Can you imagine a BJP Prime Minister doing this? They will never do”
