Congress leader Rahul Gandhi responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s criticisms of the `INDIA opposition alliance` by asserting, "call us what you want, but we are INDIA" and vowing to "rebuild the idea of India in Manipur."

Modi had criticized the opposition alliance, Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), as the most directionless the country has ever seen. He cited reviled names, including the East India Company and Indian Mujahideen, to emphasize that people cannot be misled solely by the use of the country`s name.
