New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday took a dig at the Narendra Modi government at the Centre for using the symbol of lotus in the logo of Indias G20 presidency.

Taking to Twitter, Congress general secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh wrote, Over 70 years ago, Nehru rejected the proposal to make the Congress flag, the flag of India.

Now, BJPs election symbol has become the official logo for Indias presidency of G20! While shocking,we know by now that Mr Modi and BJP wont lose any opportunity to promote themselves!.

The statement of the senior Congress leader comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the logo, theme and website of Indias G-20 presidency.

Modi had said that from Dec 1, India will preside over the G-20 Summit and called it a historic opportunity for the country.

The lotus in the logo of G-20 is a symbol of hope in such tough times, Modi said.

Not just the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)s symbol, Lotus is also the national flower of India.
