New Delhi: Reacting over the BJP's remark of 'Muslim League Congress', the grand old party, on Wednesday, attacked the ruling party for not fulfilling its promises to the country and asked to change its name from 'Bhartiya Janta Party' to 'Bharsht Jhumla Party.'

Recently, BJP cited comments of Maharashtra Congress minister, Ashok Chavan, accusing the party for doing "Muslim appeasement" and "insulting Hindus" and said that the party should be called as "Muslim League Congress."

Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said, "An empty mind is a devil's workshop. These are the unfortunate impact of unemployment which are being seen even on BJP spokespersons as they are keeping themmselves busy by searching and giving new names to INC.

He further added, "Considering the economic situation of the country the Anti National mindset of the BJP and the insensitive thick-skinned approach of the party towards the present economic crisis of the country, INC also has three names for BJP-- Nathuram Godse Party, Bharsht Jumla Party and Behkao Janta Party."

Reacting on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Shergill said, "Congress party fully understands that the nation is aggrieved by the divisive, illegal and unconstitutional law called CAA. We hope to get justice from the Honorable Supreme Court. Congress party also hopes that the Centre attempts to explain the logic and the rationale behind changing the criteria of citizenship from land-based to religion. We are also concerned about protesting youngsters, students, women all across the country."
