Jairam Ramesh, an MP from the Indian National Congress, commented that the change from "N" to "P" reflects insecurity about the former prime minister

Responding to Ramesh's statement, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla conveyed in a video message that "P" stands for "parivar" (family), not people

Poonawalla also questioned the opposition, asking whether the legacy was so fragile that it would crumble due to a mere institutional change
