A controversy erupted over the naming of trains of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) as they will be known as 'Namo Bharat'. The Congres hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the naming of trains of the RRTS saying there is "simply no limit to his self-obsession".
"After Namo stadium now Namo trains. There is simply no limit to his self-obsession," Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X.

Another Congress leader, Pawan Khera, said, "Why even put Bharat? Just change the name of the country to Namo and be done with it."
