Calcutta, Aug. 3 :     The Left Front Cabinet today adopted the July 20 all-party resolution to ceremonially change the name of the city to Kolkata. It also decided to send the proposed new name of the state, Bangla, for concurrence to the reconstituted Lok Sabha after the polls. There was a faint murmur of dissent from RSP minister Kshiti Goswami on renaming the state. He wanted to know why Bangla was chosen instead of Paschim Banga, as discussed in the Assembly. The PWD minister?s query was brushed aside by home minister Buddhadev Bhattacharya who told him that he had consulted his party leader Debabrata Bandyopadhyay while Goswami was undergoing medical treatment. Later, Bhattacharya told reporters at Writers? Buildings that the decision was adopted unanimously, as expected. The decision to change the name of the city will be sent immediately to the Union home ministry for its information. Besides, the process will also set in motion a move for legislation on the matter. The Cabinet decision on the rechristening of West Bengal will be sent to the Lok Sabha after the polls. ?We will, however, intimate the decision to the Union home ministry immediately and I am sure that they will ratify it soon,? Bhattacharya said. The renaming of the city and the state is at the centre of a statewide controversy, with Trinamul Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee calling for a referendum on it. Though Congress legislators joined forces with the ruling leftists and supported the resolution, party state working president Priya Ranjan Das Munshi ranged himself against it, presumably to wrest the initiative from Mamata on the issue. A high-level delegation of state BJP leaders will call on West Bengal Governor Shyamal Kumar Sen by the weekend to protest the formalisation of rechristening Calcutta as Kolkata. The BJP also decided to move court demanding the renaming of other historical places like Murshidabad, Berhampore and Mollarpur, whose original names were changed by ?invaders?. State BJP general secretary Rahul Sinha said that he had discussed the matter with party president Tapan Sikdar, now camping in New Delhi ?We will seek an appointment with the Governor after Sikdar and other leaders return,? he said, adding that ?a statewide agitation on rechristening is also being worked out?. He said the RSS and other frontal organisations have pledged to join the proposed agitation against the Left Font government.
