TMC MP gives Zero Hour Notice in RS over name change West Bengal

TMC MP Santanu Sen has given Zero hour Notice in Rajya Sabha over the name change of West Bengal to 'Bengal.'

Last July, the West Bengal Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution to change the state's name.

In July this year, the Centre had refused Banerjee's demand saying that a constitutional amendment is needed to change the name of a state.

On September 18, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi and raised the issue related to the proposal of renaming the state.
