TMC leaders meet PM Modi, request name change for West Bengal

 A delegation of Trinamul Congress MPs on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and demanded that West Bengal be renamed as Bangla.
Renaming of a state can be done only through a constitutional amendment after the proposal is cleared by the state Assembly concerned. The West Bengal Assembly has already passed the resolution.
The 12-member delegation of Trinamul Congress MPs which met the PM included its Parliamentary party leader Derek O ‘Brien, Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, Lok Sabha party leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay and other MPs like Mahua Moitra and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar.
