    What happened suddenly that India has to only be called Bharat?, asks WB CM Mamata Banerjee
    "The governor's actions represent an attempt to stifle state government. He can't put off paying his bills, she said

    Digital Desk: Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, asserted that India is Bharat on Tuesday and questioned what suddenly happened that the country should be called only Bharat. She said the world recognises the nation as India about the issue over a G20 dinner invitation addressed to the "President of Bharat."

    "I heard that India's name is changed. Bharat is written on the invitation to the G20 that was sent out in the name of the honourable president. What's novel about the name "Bharat" for the nation? India is referred to in English. Nothing new needs to be accomplished. We are commonly referred to as India. What occurred suddenly that the name of the country needs to be changed?" she asked, addressing a government function here.

    "History is being rewritten in the country," she continued.

    Additionally, Banerjee criticised Governor CV Ananda Bose, claiming that he was obstructing the passage of laws approved by the state assembly.


    "The governor's actions represent an attempt to stifle state government. He can't put off paying his bills, she said
    .
    "If necessary, I will stage a dharna outside the Raj Bhavan," she declared.

    The governor, according to the chief minister, has been interfering with how the state's colleges, universities, and schools are run.

    "If the governor continues to interfere in the functioning of universities, we will block the funds," she said.
