West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has once again demanded changing the name of the state. He has sent a letter to the Central Government in this regard.
Mamata Banerjee has suggested a new name and said that West Bengal should be changed to ‘Bangla’.
He said that if Bombay can be named Mumbai and Orissa can be named Odisha, then what is our mistake? In Kolkata, Mamata said, ‘We had passed a resolution in this regard in the state assembly.
We have also put the whole matter before them. But even after demanding for a long time, they have not named our state Bangla.
Mamta Banerjee has also enumerated the benefits of changing the name and said that if this happens then we will benefit. Alphabetically we will come up a bit because the waste will be removed.
This will benefit the students preparing for the competition. CM said, ‘If the name of our state is Bangla, our children will get help.
In our meetings we have to wait till the end. He said that now there is no need for West as it was when East was also in India. Now that East Bengal is in India, there is no need for West. Now there is only one Bengal. We should call it Bengali.
He also gave the example of Punjab regarding this. Mamta Banerjee said that there is a province named Punjab in Pakistan too, whereas India already has it.
Mamta said, ‘Punjab is a province of Pakistan. There is Punjab in India also. If Bangladesh can be Bangladesh at international level then why do we need to remain West Bengal.
We should be Bengali. Let us tell you that earlier in 2011, when the Trinamool Congress government was formed, it had demanded to change the name of the state to Paschim Bang or Paschim Bango.
Then after 5 years, Mamata government passed a resolution, in which there was a demand to keep the name Bango or Bangla.
Not only this, Mamta Banerjee has also demanded to declare Ganga Sagar Fair as a national fair in a letter written to PM Narendra Modi. Mamta Banerjee said that we had made a demand in this regard earlier also and are making it once again.
This time also we are spending Rs 250 crore. We are happy that the Kumbh Mela has national recognition, but it is not organized every year.
Gangasagar fair is held every year. He said that every year about 1 crore people come to Gangasagar. Then how come we are behind? This fair should also get national importance.
