Hyderabad: The Communist Party of India, for a change, is on the same page with the Trinamool Congress government on the issue of renaming the State as 'Bengal,' saying the move reflected reality.

The West Bengal Cabinet on Tuesday took up a proposal to rename the State as 'Bengal' in English and 'Bango' or 'Bangla' in Bengali. "Now we are giving a new proposal and will convene a special session of the Assembly on August 26 to pass a resolution to this effect," West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee said in Kolkata on Tuesday.

Sudhakar Reddy said: "Earlier West Bengal and East Bengal in the undivided India...it was kept because it was separate entities in Bengal. Now, it's a normal affair (to change the name).
