West Bengal To Get New Name

Описание: Following apparently in the footsteps of its neighbour Odisha, which changed its name from Orissa, the West Bengal goverment also wants a new name for the state.

According to reports, the Mamata Banerjee Cabinet in West Bengal today passed a proposal to change the name of the state either to Bangla or Bongo.

In English the state will be called as Bengal.

Though a special session of the state Assembly would be called soon to pass a proposal to set on course the name-changing process but final decision will be taken by the Centre and the Parliament.
