Claiming that the people of the northern part of West Bengal have been deprived of development, two BJP MLAs on Thursday demanded a union territory (UT) for North Bengal at a party rally which was later addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. BJP national vice-president Dilip Ghosh, a former chief of the party's West Bengal unit, said he agrees with the demand, claiming that the people of the region want it.

Reacting to the demand, the ruling Trinamool Congress accused the BJP of fanning separatism. "If Ladakh can be carved out as a union territory from Jammu & Kashmir, why not North Bengal? What is the harm in it? The people of North Bengal have been deprived for decades and it is time to stop that deprivation.
