Officially both names Bharat and India are valid anyway.

I think a political alliance calling itself an acronym that is literally the country's official name, in order to mislead, is a bigger problem.

How is that name misleading?

Because India the country and I.N.D.I.A the alliance are two different things which a lot of people can sadly, confuse in this country.
