Nehru Museum Renaming Row: The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society in Delhi has been renamed as the Prime Minister’s Museum and Library Society in the memory of former PM Jawaharlal Nehru. After this a new dispute has arisen between BJP and Congress.
On Saturday, BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawalla hit back at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. Poonawalla said that the Congress cannot look beyond one family. Congress Family Limited Company. All the Prime Ministers have contributed in the development of this country. If the contributions of all the Prime Ministers are remembered in a museum then why this dictatorial attitude?
In fact, Kharge had said on Friday that those who do not have any history are busy in erasing the history of others. Referring to the RSS, he said that it only shows the mean mentality and dictatorial attitude of the BJP-RSS.

- Political tussle over the museum
Sushil Modi said – earlier the museum was focused only on Nehru
BJP MP Sushil Modi said that the Congress did not properly display the contribution of Jawaharlal Nehru in the museum. I went there. Some documents and chairs were kept. But now it’s great. Earlier it focused only on Jawaharlal Nehru, but now the contribution of all the prime ministers has been shown and hence the name cannot be only after Jawaharlal Nehru.
Congress habit of living in dynasty
Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said whether other Prime Ministers of the country did not contribute anything? While most of the Congress leaders became the PM. The museum is not the property of any one person but is dedicated to all the Prime Ministers. Congress has a habit of living in dynasty.
- Congress fiercely targeted PM Modi
Nehru’s personality will not diminish
Congress leader Gaurav Vallabh said the BJP felt that removing Jawaharlal Nehru’s name from the board would reduce his personality. The people of the country consider Nehru as the creator of modern India. I want to remind Modi ji of a statement of Vajpayee ji – no one will become big with a small mind. You are showing your low mentality in front of the country. You will remove Pandit Nehru’s name from the board but how will you remove it from the hearts of the people?
There was no need to change the name: Sanjay Raut
Uddhav Thackeray group leader and MP Sanjay Raut said that Pandit Nehru has contributed in building the country, he also contributed in the freedom struggle. There have been many Prime Ministers in the country and all have worked for the country. But there was no need to change the name of the museum. The museum could run only in the name of Nehru. In that you could have given more space to everyone. This has been done because of hatred towards Pandit Nehru.
