The Trinamool Congress pushes to rename West Bengal as 'Bangla', seeking central government approval.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, India, is pushing to rename the state as 'Bangla', arguing it better reflects the state's history and culture. In 2018, the West Bengal Assembly unanimously approved the name change, but it still awaits central government approval. MP Ritabrata Banerjee raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha, noting that the last state name change occurred in 2011 when Orissa became Odisha.
