    Nehru Museum's Renaming In Delhi Latest Flashpoint In BJP vs Congress

    The renaming of the museum at Teen Murti Bhavan comes nearly a year after the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya was inaugurated on the premises of the same building

    BJP and Congress leaders are fighting at a new frontline yet again after the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society in Delhi was renamed as Prime Ministers' Museum and Library Society.
    The renaming of the museum at Teen Murti Bhavan comes nearly a year after the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya was inaugurated on the premises of the same building, which had served as the official home of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.


    Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh alleged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party are trying to reduce the contributions made by the country's first Prime Minister.

    "Those who do not have any history, they have gone to erase the history of others. The ill-fated attempt to change the name of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library cannot belittle the personality of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the architect of modern India and fearless guardian of democracy," Mr Kharge tweeted. "This only shows the low mentality and dictatorial attitude of BJP-RSS," he said, referring to the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
