CPI backs Mamata’s idea on renaming west bengal
The Communist Party of India, for a change, is on the same page with the Trinamool Congress government on the issue of renaming the State as \'Bengal,\' saying the move reflected reality.
Hyderabad: The Communist Party of India, for a change, is on the same page with the Trinamool Congress government on the issue of renaming the State as 'Bengal,' saying the move reflected reality. "We agree. It's alright. No problem," CPI General Secretary Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy on Wednesday told PTI on the West Bengal government's proposal to change the name of the State.
The West Bengal Cabinet on Tuesday took up a proposal to rename the State as 'Bengal' in English and 'Bango' or 'Bangla' in Bengali. "Now we are giving a new proposal and will convene a special session of the Assembly on August 26 to pass a resolution to this effect," West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee said in Kolkata on Tuesday.
Sudhakar Reddy said: "Earlier West Bengal and East Bengal in the undivided India...it was kept because it was separate entities in Bengal. Now, it's a normal affair (to change the name). I don't think there is any objection to it." "It's a normal method. Unnecessarily the name (West) was kept in the post-independence period, and it continued like that, he said.
