BJP national general secretary CT Ravi has demanded that Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) be renamed as Swami Vivekananda University.

Ravi, who is not new to making controversial remarks, on Monday tweeted, “It was Swami Vivekananda who stood for the idea of ‘Bharat’. His philosophy and values signify the ‘Strength of Bharat’. It is only right that Jawaharlal Nehru University be renamed as Swami Vivekananda University. Life of Bharat’s patriotic saint will inspire generations to come.”
