The Mamata Benarjee Govt today passed a resolution proposing that the state's name be changed to 'Bangla' in Bengali or 'Bengal' in English.
The resolution will now be sent to the Centre seeking its approval. Once the Centre gives the nod, the state will be officially called Bangla or Bengal.
The government resolution under Rule 169 was passed amidst a walk out by the Left Front, Congress and the BJP.
Reacting to the protest staged by opposition, Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee said,"History will not forgive those who are opposing this. This is a historic day and will be remembered in golden letters," Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee told reporters.
