The West Bengal Assembly on Monday Aug 29,2016 passed a resolution for renaming the
state as ‘Bangla’ in Bengali and ‘Bengal’ in English, weeks after a
proposal in this regard was put forward by Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee.
Speaking to the reporters after passing of the resolution, Mamata said, “Everyone would be happy with the change of name of Bengal. The people of Bengal have accepted the name ‘Bangla’. We have given importance to that.
Congress, CPM, BJP have opposed to the renaming of the state. If the opposition is doing this for the sake of it, then it is very much unfortunate.”
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the TMC Government would send the resolution to the Centre as it needs to be passed in the Parliament.
“Bombay has become Mumbai, Madras has been renamed Chennai and there are many other instances.
The base is Bengal and we want to take everyone along with us. We are proud as Bengalis. Our intention is to make Bengal world famous.
I hope this decision will be good for Bengal. There should be a brand of Bengal. We are proud that with your help, we could adopt this name,” Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee added.
Taking a strong exception to the opposition parties who did not support the resolution, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said,
“Those who did not support us in this, the future won’t forgive them. It will remain as a blot.
The Congress has turned into a frontal organisation of the CPM by opposing everything. They play ‘narad narad’ by seeing any issue.”
